Publications New Zealand & the New Zealand National Bibliography

Publications New Zealand is New Zealand's national bibliography. It contains descriptions of books, periodicals, films, music and other material published in New Zealand, or with a significant New Zealand content, and links to libraries where you can find each item.

Using the site, you can browse a new releases showcase, search by title, media, subject and author, and subscribe to an RSS feed of recent additions.

The website is a valuable tool for research and a source of information for purchasing New Zealand publications and general cataloguing information.

Accessing Publications New Zealand

Libraries that are registered users of Te Puna Web Services can also access the NZNB through the National Bibliographic Database.

Future developments for the Publications New Zealand website

Further developments for the website may include providing users with the opportunity to connect to their local library online or order books and music from New Zealand retailers and publishers. Adding features such as user-contributed reviews and tagging are also under consideration.

Creating a report of New Zealand publications

Users will soon be able to generate reports using the reports function on Publications New Zealand. The reports will be fully customisable: for example, you could make a report of recent additions to the National Bibliography of all works by a certain author or, the latest additions in a particular subject.
