Abstract

Government in India to the Indian Council for Library Development. ULLAS lists 2584 learned American serials deposited in 165 libraries in India. Also it gives approximately three thousand cross-references. ULLAS is not only a union list of serials; it is a catalog as well. Its entries contain all the information that the scholars need and the librarians record in their catalogs of serial publications- a unique feature. The basic entry resembles an LC main catalog card and contains exhaustive data on the serial and then reports its pertinent holdings in a systematic marmer. With these added features, ULLAS has becore a significant means for the promotion of American studies in India.
