COBISS: Cooperative Online Bibliographic System and Services

COBISS started in 1987 with a project on an online shared cataloguing system on a former Yugoslav federal level. It is developed and maintained by the Institute of Information Science (IZUM) in Maribor, Slovenia. Besides the online shared cataloguing system and the COBISS/OPAC network application for end‐users, the COBISS system also offers libraries and information centres services relating to the automation of local functions. More than 170 of the largest Slovene libraries of all kinds are presently participating, as well as two libraries from Macedonia and one from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
