Accessing the National Art Library catalogues using a Z39.50 server
The National Art Library's Online Catalogue is available via a web interface and a Z39.50 server. Z39.50 is an international standard that enables computers and databases in different libraries to communicate with each other, regardless of the hardware and software in use in each library. This page gives some technical information for users wishing to search the catalogue using the Z39.50 method.
National Art Library heritage project
Access to the Library's collections was transformed with the completion of the National Art Library Heritage Project at the end of 2003. With the help of a grant of £958,400 from the UK's Heritage Lottery Fund, the NAL was able to transfer details of all its historic material to the Library Catalogue.
Donate to the Stained Glass Appeal
We are currently working on an exciting project to conserve and re-install the original stained glass on the landings of the Manfred and Lydia Gorvy Lecture Theatre. We need your help to raise £75,000 to bring these historical features back to their former glory for us all to enjoy.
