Since 2011 there has been an ongoing project involving the creation of a Network of Ecclesiastical Libraries Network allowing libraries belonging to the Catholic Church in Spain to work in the development of an automation plan of all its funds and collections. The resulting process will lead to the creation of a large online Joint Catalogue, which will allow the sharing of resources and offering the research community a powerful tool for bibliographic information.

This preliminary work was completed with the signature of a framework agreement between the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Oviedo and Granada in January 2015 for the implementation of this project. The main objective of this Joint Catalogue is offering the description and location of books and other bibliographic collections of the libraries belonging to the archbishopries of Oviedo and Granada respectively.

The Joint Catalogue  is a project still in development and subject to ongoing expansion and refining.
