Description of responsability and interest, including sectors they cover

Set up with the task of cataloguing the whole of the national bibliographic heritage, the Central Institute for the Union Catalogue of Italian Libraries and for Bibliographic Information pursues this goal today thanks to a strategy of strong cooperation among Italian libraries coming under different administrations, to ensure that services of the same level are developed throughout the national territory. The outcome of this cooperation is the creation of the National Library Service (SBN) which is a network of national services including State, Regional, and University libraries contributing to the creation of the on-line collective national catalogue runned by ICCU.

The Institute, acts as coordinator of the National Library Service and of the cataloguing projects produced by using information technology.

ICCU promotes and coordinates national censuses of manuscripts, of 16th century Italian editions, and of Italian libraries with the aim of improving knowledge about our bibliographic collections and of simplifying access for users.

To support the cataloguing activity of libraries in Italy, ICCU is responsible for setting guidelines and for producing and disseminating standard cataloguing rules covering all types of materials ranging from manuscripts to multimedia documents.
