United Kingdom

The Library collects most government publications of the United Kingdom, including the devolved governments of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Publications from 2009/2010 are integrated in the main library collections. The dedicated OPUB GB collection (to 2009/2010) is spread across the Santry book repository (generally up to publication year 1967) and external storage (generally publication years 1968-2009), all available via Stella Search and the Classic Catalogue.
