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. Some countries that do not have a national bibliography of their own participate in larger, regional bibliographies, such as the Arab Bulletin of Publications, the CARICOM Bibliography, Bibliografía Actual del Caribe, Boletin Bibliografico, or the South Pacific Bibliography.
