British National Bibliography (BNB) was established to publish a list of the books, journals and serials that are published in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.[1] It also includes information on forthcoming titles. New books and serials have been recorded in the British National Bibliography (BNB) since 1950.[2] The British National Bibliography was first established at the British Museum.[3] This is the single most comprehensive listing of UK titles. UK and Irish publishers are obliged by legal deposit to send a copy of all new publications, including serial titles to BNB for listing. The BNB publish the list weekly in electronic form: the last printed weekly list appeared in December 2011[4].
