UnityUK is pleased to welcome back three subscribers to the UnityUK service. Middlesborough, Redcar and Cleveland and South Tyneside Public Libraries have all returned to UnityUK from an alternative resource sharing solution.
Julia Robinson, Support Services Librarian, Central Library, South Tyneside, explains the reasons for their return to the service.
"OCLC offered us a 6 week trial of UnityUK. 4 weeks into the trial we decided to subscribe because UnityUK had improved so much in the 2 years following our initial subscription. Our interloans staff are really impressed with the speed and content of the site, the speed of response from other users and the online help. We would be happy to recommend UnityUK to anyone in the Interloans Community."
The full integration of the LinkUK union catalogue data and holdings into UnityUK sees the realisation of a single UK national union catalogue. UnityUK is providing 170 UK public libraries access to over 9,300,000 titles and 50,500,000 holdings and to date has fulfilled over 112,000 requests from member libraries.
