Colleagues

 

In January, the 25 millionth bibliographic record was added to the Australian National Bibliographic Database (ANBD) by the National Library.


Over 1,200 libraries work together and contribute to the ANBD, which is the heart of Libraries Australia.  The ANBD continues to grow and support the workflow of Australian libraries. It now has:

- over 25 million bibliographic records;

- over 50 million holdings; and

- over 17.5 million searches during 2012/2013.


Further information and statistics on the value of the ANBD and Libraries Australia can now be found on our website http://www.nla.gov.au/librariesaustralia/about/.


Congratulations to all the libraries that have contributed to Libraries Australia!


Regards
