Welcome

The Combined Regions (TCR) works in partnership with OCLC to provide the UK's first national resource sharing service - UnityUK.  UnityUK is the UK’s first and only national network for resource sharing, combining the union catalogues of The Combined Regions and LinkUK.

"UnityUK has taken a lot of the donkey work out of the requesting process. We no longer have to fill in forms, send faxes and generate chasers; the system does it all for us. This has saved a great deal of time and effort even when, like us, you’re only doing a couple of hundred requests a year."
Helen McNabb, Bibliographic Services Officer, Vale of Glamorgan
