The SCUBA Local Universe Galaxy Survey (SLUGS) is the first systematic survey of the local universe at submm wavelengths. At 850μm, SCUBA is sensitive to thermal emission from dust at ∼ 10 K and should therefore trace the bulk dust mass, unlike IRAS which was only sensitive to warmer dust (> 30 K) near star-forming regions. So far, we have imaged ∼ 200 objects selected from the IRAS Bright Gala...
