COPAC is a new nationally accessible catalogue. Based at the University of Manchester, COPAC provides unified access to the consolidated online catalogues of some of the largest university research libraries in the UK and Ireland. COPAC is normally available 24 hours a day 365 days a year and access is free of charge.
The COPAC database currently contains approx. 3.5 million records. These represent the merged online library catalogues of: Cambridge University, Edinburgh University, Glasgow University, Leeds University, Oxford University, Trinity College Dublin.
The records from a further twelve university library catalogues will be added in due course, and there are plans for the addition of material from further libraries in the future. As well as providing general coverage of a very wide range of subject areas, these large research libraries have many specialist collections and particular strengths, such as foreign language materials, which make COPAC a very valuable resource for the researcher.
