Summary/Abstract: Sofia University Library “St. Kliment Ohridski” is the biggest scientific library in Bulgaria. The establishment of the catalogues is significant for the library work. The cataloguing rules employed in building the catalogues are important for their quality. The Sofia University Library has gone a long way from its first catalogues with short bibliographic descriptions to the next period of cataloguing with international and national standardization. A complex catalogue system was established. Today it is the first and the only large Bulgarian library to finish the process of retrospective conversion of its traditional catalogues. It offers its patrons unified bibliographic information for its collections.
