Keywords: France, Catalogues, Bibliographies, Internet

CCFR/Catalogue Collectif de France recently announced the availability, online, of one of the latest efforts to provide public access to a truly national union catalogue. The bibliographic record of nearly any book ever published in France, in nearly every library in that country, has been collected and provided in a single, uniform, and easily-used format. The catalogue can be found in English at http://www.ccfr.bnf.fr/rnbcd_visu/acc1_eng.htm and contains 2.2 million records from 262 fonds anciens catalogs of 55 libraries in France. Among these are the major bibliothèques municipales but also, and very interestingly, minor libraries and little-known/little-used collections of various types. More of the latter are scheduled to be added at a later date.
