dc.descriptionWe discuss the progress of the SCUBA Local Universe Galaxy Survey (SLUGS), the first large, statistical sub-mm survey of the local universe. Since our original survey of a sample of 104 IRAS-selected galaxies we have recently completed a sample of 78 Optically-Selected galaxies. Since SCUBA is sensitive to the large proportion of dust too cold to be detected by IRAS the addition of this optically-selected sample allows us for the first time to determine the amount of cold dust in galaxies of different Hubble types. We detect 6 ellipticals in the sample and find them to have dust masses in excess of 10^7 solar masses. We derive local sub-mm luminosity functions, both directly for the two samples, and by extrapolation from the IRAS PSCz, and find excellent agreement.
