National Bibliography is now available through the NDL-OPAC
From January 2012, the National Bibliography is provided on the Bibliographic Records Service screen of the renewed NDL-OPAC. 1
Covered materials
Just like the past Japanese National Bibliography, bibliographic records of all publications published in Japan, and publications written in Japanese and published abroad, are included.

How to view
On the Bibliographic Records Service screen, select a material type from the pull-down menu (Book, Non Book Material, Serial, All) and designate a date. The list of the bibliographic data which the National Diet Library (NDL) catalogued on the day will be displayed. It is possible to sort the data by title, author, publisher and year of publication.

1Japanese National Bibliography Weekly List, which had been released on the NDL website, ceased to be published with the 43rd issue of 2011 being the last. JAPAN/MARC, a machine-readable version of the National Bibliography, continues to be distributed through the Japan Library Association.
