English abstract

The National Bibliographic Data Bank (NBDB) is part of the Lithuanian Integrated Library Information System (LIBIS). The main purpose of creating LIBIS was ensuring bibliographic control of all documents of Lithuania and avoiding duplication of cataloguing processes within the National Library and the whole of Lithuania. During the creation of NBDB, activities of all the structural units of the Centre of Bibliography and Book Science were reorganized in such a manner that both bibliographic and authority records had to be created for every document acquired by the Centre. These records are subsequently reused by all units for the realization of their functions and preparation of publications. This reorganization became possible due to the earlier drafted concept for the creation of a national bibliographic data bank and software applications of LIBIS, which ensured setting up of databases of bibliographic records, authority records and factographic data, which make the basis of LIBIS. Data of NBDB not only allow rendering information services for different user categories, but also make it possible to broaden the scope of publications by including those of the current and retrospective bibliography and catalogues of general use, such as Parduodamų knygų katalogas (“The Catalogue of Books in Print”), Lietuvos leidėjų katalogas (“The Catalogue of Lithuanian Publishers”) and many others.
