Catalogue is updated by new entries in real time
so that a user may find an incomplete record what implies that the
item is not available. In this case the user should contact a reference
librarian for further information. Networking Libraries' holding
materials other than those of the National and University Library
are identified by institution codes (codes of participating libraries)
List of institution codes characteristic of certain types of materials
accompanies individual entries.
