Catalogues
Online Catalogue
- Most of the Library’s official publications can be found here; nearly everything received since the early 1980s is included.
- Publications in series are either grouped under the series title on one record (as with journals), or catalogued individually with a separate record for each new item, or a mixture of both. Cataloguing practice in this area is changing over time, and the best “fit” differs from series to series.
Official Publications Card Catalogue
- This is a legacy catalogue and is available to Library staff only.
- The vast majority of records have been transferred to the online catalogue; there is a possibility that some materials published before 1984 may only be found in the Card Catalogue: please Contact Us if you want to find out more.
Publisher Catalogues
- The Library holds extensive collections of publication catalogues issued by governmental and intergovernmental agencies.
- The main publisher of UK official publications is The Stationery Office (TSO), formerly Her Majesty’s Stationery Office (HMSO). Printed copies of its catalogue for UK publications, and its catalogue for a number of international organisations are also available in the library.
edepositIreland – digital publications
- This new service collects digital publications (most born-digital, some digitised) by a growing number of open access publishers, including government departments, government agencies and non-governmental organisations.
Uncatalogued materials
- Sections of the Official publications collections, particularly from the early 20th century, are not yet fully catalogued.
