Growing from the Scottish Publishers Association’s Scottish
Arts Council/ Lottery Funded 'Scottish Bibliography for Libraries',
Scottish Bibliographies Online aims to bring together all
current and retrospective information on Scottish publications
and material of Scottish interest.
Aims:
•
Make pre-publication data available for order purposes.
• Stimulate demand by raising awareness of Scottish
publications. • Ensure bibliographic accuracy
for ordering and cataloguing.
• Make links to selected suppliers on-line.
You
