Bibliographic information

Every one of the publications we add to our collections is indexed in the Deutsche Nationalbibliografie (German National Bibliography) and in our catalgue.

The bibliographic information you submit to the directory of Verzeichnis Lieferbarer Bücher (VLB – German Books in Print) is used for the New Release Service and for cataloguing purposes. It is not necessary to send a separate message to the German National Library.

When publishing media works that fall within our collection mandate, the following bibliographic information can be included in the imprint:
“The German National Library lists this publication in the Deutsche Nationalbibliografie; detailed bibliographic data are available in the Internet at https://dnb.dnb.de.” This information is also available in other languages.
The decision is yours; you are not required to consult us first.
