Following the end of the project in March 1994, staff of the National Library reorganized the cards that had not been converted. Canadian government publications received prior to 1980. It is expected that the Canadiana-related information on the remaining cards will be added to the automated union catalogue as resources permit. For Library staff and on-site researchers, the manual union catalogues are now easier to use because they have been considerably reduced in size and holdings have been edited onto single cards, thus eliminating duplication of titles. For Canadian libraries and researchers, the conversion means improved remote access to more Canadiana titles.
Automation also means that there are more access points for identifying and locating documents.
Union Catalogue Products Automation of the union catalogue in 1980 greatly facilitated the publication of union catalogue products. In 1982, the National Library established the Decentralized Program for Canadian Newspapers. Part of the Program included compiling inventories of newspapers published in the provinces and territories. ULCN also includes titles in the Checklist of Canadian Ethnic Serials . A directory of libraries that participate in interlibrary loan service, also available in Romulus, allows libraries to obtain documents from other Canadian libraries.
