Abstract
During 2001‐2002 a union database of holdings of biomedical journals in a number of higher education and research institutes in London was created. The project was one of several funded through the British Library's Co‐operation and Partnership Programme. This paper describes the practical steps involved in designing the database (using Microsoft Access software), collecting the data and developing an appropriate Web‐based search interface. The technical and human problems involved in a collaborative project such as this are highlighted.
