DEUTSCHE NATIONALBIBLIOGRAFIE PUBLISHED AS ONLINE JOURNAL FROM BIBLIOGRAPHY YEAR 2010

The online database of the German National Library fulfils the organisation's legal mandate to carry out bibliographic indexing of all publications issued in Germany. It can be accessed freely via the Internet at  https://portal.d-nb.de.

The Deutsche Nationalbibliografie has been published by the German National Library since 1931. Since January 2010, however, it has been issued as an online journal.
The publication schedule, the subdivision into series A, B, C, H, M, T and the new release service remain unchanged from the printed edition.
The new electronic services reflect users' changing needs and replace the printed and CD-ROM versions of the Deutsche Nationalbibliografie.

Taking the earlier printed edition as the template, the German National Library will be offering the Nationalbibliografie in PDF format as an online journal * ; its content will in some cases be simplified and it will be offered free of charge via its database. 
In addition, the PDF files can also be purchased and downloaded via the WWW or from the FTP server of the German National Library; we also offer the PDF content in hard copy in response to requests from many existing users.
