Collective Catalog of Museum Libraries (BIMUS)

The creation of the Network of Museum Libraries (BIMUS) aims to improve and optimise the material and human resources of libraries as well as a change in work processes, fostering cooperation and developing common library policies and services. It offers the possibility to consult the catalogues of all the libraries of the Network through a single Collective Catalogue that facilitates the use and visibility of all the funds. BIMUS integrates 18 centres: the library of the National Theatre Museum and the 17 libraries belonging to the state-owned museums and the direct management of the Ministry of Culture.
