: The GujCat,a subset of IndCat, is unified online library catalogue of books available in major
college/institute/university libraries within Gujarat state. GujCat contains bibliographic

description, location and holding information of books available in libraries in Gujarat. A
separate dedicated web-based interface is designed to provide easy-access to the merged
catalogues of libraries in Gujarat. GujCat is a major source of bibliographic information that
can be used for inter-library loan, collection development as well as for copy cataloguing and
retro-conversion of bibliographic records within Gujarat.

: The NERCat, an online catalogue of books in universities in North-Eastern Region, is another

subset of IndCat. NERCat is designed and implemented to restrict searching of bibliographic
records to university libraries in North-Eastern region, so as to promote resource sharing
amongst university libraries in North-Eastern region.
