Summary/Abstract: This article attempts to sum up the research conducted in the Jagiellonian Library in connection with its participation in the project entitled “NUKAT – The Highway of Digital Information”, executed between 2009 and 2012 by the University Library in Warsaw. Besides introducing the concepts, the general premises of the project and the mandatory procedures as well as presenting particular stages of merging data, this article also describes the process of merging the Computer Catalogue of the Collections of the Jagiellonian University Libraries Collections with the National Union Catalogue NUKAT, including the preliminary, administrative and follow-up work that was done in the Jagiellonian Library in connection with this enterprise. The aim of this article is to give a broad outline of this project as well as to present the results of an analysis performed on a control group of 5500 merged records in connection with some abnormalities that had been detected. This analysis was done on the basis of reports additionally prepared by the NUKAT Centre at the request of the Jagiellonian Library during the course of the project as well as after particular stages of merging catalogues were finished. The article is summed up by the conclusions and the evaluation of the project which are based on the control material and on the data gathered by the author while she was coordinating the project.
