indica-et-buddhica.org, Oxford, New Zealand.

Self-description:

Indica-et-buddhica.org - Catalogus bibliothecarum (ieb-cb) is a virtual union catalogue providing centralised access to library servers with significant indological and buddhological collections. Searches can be conducted using a range of attributes, terms and operators. Records can be retrieved in various syntaxes, formats and quantities. In addition to bibliographical data, many records contain location, holding and availability details.

Ieb-cb is designed to facilitate the transfer of indological and buddhological data across large networks. It will enable researchers to rapidly locate and obtain records from widely distributed library servers.

Site contents:
