- Abstract
- The author was funded by the US Information Agency to assist the National Library of Namibia in the creation of a national bibliography. Work began in 1994 with the conversion of an existing database of Namibiana, NAMLIT, to CDS/ISIS which includes software using UNIMARC. This was to make possible the creation of new records, and enhance NAMLIT records for monographs or serials by using AACR2 and adding DDC numbers and LCSH headings. Describes the obstacles to be surmounted including the absence of legal deposit and a burglary of the hardware. It is planned to produce printed issues covering 1990-1992, 1993-1995 and current publication for 1996 onwards. After the annual schedule is in operation retrospective coverage from the 1980s will be undertaken
