- For info:
- This directory was conceived in the context of measuring in some way
- the large component of the monographic bibliographic record resource of Europe
- which is represented in various "bibliographic utility" or union catalogue
- organisations.
- The original focus was technical services, though this was broadened somewhat
- in the second edition. Many (most?) of the resources described are
- not publicly accessible, and many are not connected to the academic or
- research networks.
