SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL 
BIBLIOGRAPHY

Following on the outstanding success 
achieved by the Deutsche Bibliothek in Frank­
furt and the Zentralstelle für maschinelle 
Dokumentation in producing Deutsche Bibli­
ographie with the help of the computer, at the 
same time maintaining the typographical ap­
pearance desirable in a national bibliography, 
the S.A.N.B. is the second national bibliography 
to be produced by a similar process. Once 
again the programming is being undertaken by 
the Zentralstelle für maschinelle Dokumenta­
tion. The great difference in contrast to the 
Deutsche Bibliographie is that it is arranged 
according to D.D.C. classification numbers, un­
avoidable in a land where publications appear 
in up to twenty languages. The problem of 
diacritical signs which the use of a variety of 
languages entails, and the adjustment of in­
dexes, were special problems requiring atten­
tion.

The first quarterly volume of the S.A.N.B. 
for 1968, prepared by the computer, has al­
ready appeared. The S.A.N.B. appears in three 
quarterly volumes, a yearly and perennial cu­
mulation, and is published by the State Li­
brary, P.O. Box 397, Pretoria, Transvaal, Re­
public of South Africa. ■ ■
