catalogue.
 
 
 
According to its corporate brochure[https://cdn.sabinet.co.za/documents/Sabinet_Corporate_Brochure.pdf], the original principles behind the organisation included the idea that it should be as simple as possible yet cost effective for all concerned, within the framework of a networked central library and database system. This is still the key motivation.

For the purposes of [[ESAT]] compilers and users, the key feature of this initiative is the [[Sabinet Reference Platform]], a facility intended to provide a researcher with a single entry point from which to to seamlessly search [[Sabinet]]'s reference products, which include the [[African Digital Repository]], [[Navtech]], [[SACat]], [[SACat Plus]], [[SANB]] ([[South African National Bibliography]]), [[Subsidie]] and [[UCTD]] (the [[Union Catalogue for Theses and Dissertations]])
