PiCarta

PiCarta gives access to the Dutch Central Catalogue (NCC) and Online Contents (OLC).

The NCC contains bibliographic entries of all books and journals in the collections of more than 400 libraries in the Netherlands.

Online Contents contains the tables of content and references to articles in periodicals. The database was started in 1992 and is updated daily. You can find the articles in the university library, or request them via a special IBL account (only available in Dutch). The best way to access PiCarta is to log on to the Digital Library with your ULCN account. This ensures that you are directly identified as a student or employee of Leiden University.
