Database Names Supported:

NBD

The National Bibliographic Database (NBD) is
Australia's largest single bibliographic resource
with millions of entries for books, magazines and
items in non-print or alternative print formats
such as films, sound and video recordings
(including captioned), maps, pictures, CDs,
braille and talking books, music scores, computer
files and electronic journals.

With over 27 million locations recording the
collections of over 850 Australian libraries, the
NBD can locate material held all over Australia.
This means greater access to information for all
Australian library users through the provision of
local and interlibrary lending in Australia.
Though there are some exceptions, most libraries
in Australia participate in interlibrary lending
at the regional, state or national level.
