National bibliography explained

A national bibliography is a systematic bibliography of acquisitions of a national library. Most countries either have a national bibliography or are in the process of compiling one.^[1] Some countries that do not have a national bibliography of their own participate in larger,, such as the Arab Bulletin of Publications, the CARICOM Bibliography, Bibliografía Actual del Caribe, Boletin Bibliografico, or the South Pacific Bibliography.^{[2] [3]}
