The Nederlandse Centrale Catalogus (NCC) is the official Dutch bibliographic catalog and metadata index system that links to and consolidates the catalogs of over 400 libraries in the Netherlands.

Scope

The NCC contains bibliographic data and locations of more than 14 million books and 500,000

magazines operating in more than 400 Netherlands libraries
are found. The database is updated by the libraries that participate in the Gemeenschappelijk Geautomatiseerd Catalogussysteem (GGC; Shared Automated Cataloguing System).

The database is managed jointly by the

OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. (OCLC), a non-profit global cooperative headquartered in Dublin, Ohio. The catalog data has been digitized and is openly accessible online, in multiple languages, via the Dutch website, PiCarta [nl
].

A GGC identifier is synonymous with PPN (PICA Production Number), which derives its name from

cloud-based secure article sharing platform that automatically deletes articles after a specified number of downloads and number of days.[1]

History

The NCC was founded in 1919 through the initiative of

National Library of the Netherlands in The Hague. As a precursor for the launch, Molhuysen and Elsa Rachel Oppenheim (1885–1941) — his second of three wives — together, completed in 1916 the Catalogue de la Bibliothèque du Palais de la Paix, for the Peace Palace law library in The Hague
.

In the 1970s and 1980s, the indexing was migrated to digital formats, initially to the GGC, then to the NCC.
