SUNCAT has recently added the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and the serials holdings of the University of the West of England to the catalogue. SUNCAT now contains information about the serials holdings of 67 UK research libraries, in addition to the CONSER database, the ISSN register and the DOAJ.
The DOAJ is a comprehensive directory of scholarly open access journals, containing over 3,700 titles. All journals included in the DOAJ are freely available and contain full-text peer-reviewed articles aimed primarily at researchers. The addition of the DOAJ to the catalogue ensures that these free titles are made visible and accessible to SUNCAT searchers alongside any subscription electronic journals they have access to. SUNCAT users can find these titles interspersed in their search results or can choose to limit their search to these titles alone.
