- The National Union Catalog, Reference and Related Services. Kimball, John W., Jr., Comp. Freitag, Ruth S. Books Guides Information Services Information Storage Library Collections Library Materials Library Services National Programs Publications Reference Services Union Catalogs The National Union Catalog (NUC) is a record of publications and their location in more than 1,100 libraries in the United States and Canada. As such, it is the central register of library resources in North America. Major portions of the NUC are published on a continuing basis, but most of the records for imprints before 1956 consist of card files housed principally in the Main Building of the Library of Congress, on Deck 33. The Union Catalog Division, until its abolition in July, 1970, exercised most NUC functions, including liaison with the public, but now the various activities relating to the NUC are distributed among several Library divisions. The various functions and services of the NUC are discussed. (Author/NH)
