Catalogues

KatNUK is the main library catalogue. It is accessible on the web site Cobiss/OPAC and the mobile application mCobiss. It contains more than 1.250.000 bibliographic records of material dated from 1774 until nowadays.

The catalogue includes:

• Monographs: books, contemporary cartographic material (atlases, maps, etc.), graphic material (photos, posters, drawings, prints, etc.), videos (video tapes, DVDs, etc.);
• Electronic resources (CD-ROMs, online resources, etc.), sound recordings (gramophone records, cassettes, music CDs, etc.), printed music (sheet music), etc.;
• Contemporary periodicals: journals, magazines, newspapers, yearbooks, etc., and
• Articles published from 1990 onwards in the Slovenian professional periodicals.

The KatNUK catalogue does not cover all of the material kept in the National and University Library. Records for older serials and older materials kept in special collections (the Manuscripts, Music and Cartographic Collection, and the Collection of Special Library Material) are not included. If you don't find material in the KatNUK catalogue, you are advised to search the card catalogues in the main library building (Turjaška 1).

This catalogue includes approximately 97,000 digitised catalogue cards representing material acquired from 1774 to 1947: monographs (books), serial publications (newspapers, magazines, calendars, etc.), and book collections. About 65,000 cards describing books have been downloaded into the computerised catalogue. In the catalogue you can browse the cards classified by author, title of serial publication, or title of book collection.

When searching by title you must follow the rule that the noun is always in the first place (e.g. “Slovenian people” is searched as “people Slovenian”, or “Slovenian Talija” is searched as “Talija Slovenian”, etc.).

The Manuscripts Catalogue is available in PDF format. It includes the inventory of catalogued manuscripts arranged by call numbers, consisting of a serial number and the Ms location mark. It consists of records ranging from the oldest manuscripts – the so-called medieval codices originated between the 9th and the 16th centuries - to the most recent legacies with the exception of the Kopitar Collection which is accessible digitally. You can search the catalogue by the Ctrl+F command, either by words or by parts of words. You have to order the material in person in the Manuscripts and Rare Books Collection. The material is available only to the Library members in the collection reading room for academic, scientific and research purposes.

WorldCat is the world's largest network of library content and services. It includes:

• More than 200 million bibliographic records of books, cartographic material (atlases, maps), visual materials (photographs, posters, drawings, etc.), videos (video cassettes, DVDs, films), electronic resources (CD-ROMs, floppy disks, web resources), sound recordings (music CDs, cassettes), music publications (sheet music), and serial publications (magazines, newspapers, yearbooks, etc.),
