Copac is a union catalogue of over 56 contributing institutions including national libraries, academic libraries, special collections, professional associations, government organizations, charities, public libraries, and museums. Recent and forthcoming developments include a new more flexible database, restructured website, and new interface with a revised look and feel. Work-level deduplication will bring together records relating to the same work that exists in different forms across various formats and institutions.

21. An example of one of the new developments. This illustrates the potential for introducing facets so you can navigate large result sets more effectively. What facets we display will be something to review with users when we redevelop the interface. This is a test version without deduplication or presentation stylesheet.

23. Work level deduplication would (try to) bring together all the records relating to a specific work.

24. The biggest impact would be for the relatively small number of works that exist in many forms. For example: Pride and prejudice : national stereotypes in 19th and 20th century Europe east to west / editor, LászlóKontler 1995. (1 record) Pride and prejudice / Jane Austen (734 records) Electronic (20) Book (630) Audio book (10) Video/film (60) Music score (50) Sound recording (20) Language: [English (670)] Date: [2001-2010 (30)]  Institution: [Aberdeen (20)]  Copac: National, Academic, and Specialist Library Catalogue FIL 29/06/10
