NABOB, the National Bibliography for Botswana: history, present state and perspective for development
Abstract:
This paper gives a brief history, status and analysis of users and contexts of use of the National
Bibliography of Botswana. (here after referred to as NABOB) The paper also illustrates the position
of NABOB in the digital age. National bibliographies are constantly changing: they include records
for digital resources and printed versions are gradually replaced with electronic, and one can ask if
this applied to NABOB as well. If it doesn’t, then advice and assistance would be given to assist
Botswana National Library Services (BNLS), to respond to the growing significance of electronic
media to produce electronic national bibliographies. This can only be done if NABOB status is
discussed at length. The intended audience of this paper will be that team that is charged with the
management of National Bibliographic services, (BNLS (University of Botswana Library and
Botswana National Archives. These are also legal deposit centres in Botswana.
Keywords: national bibliographies, cataloguing standards, legal deposit, national bibliographic
