  • The Indian National Bibliography
    THE INDIAN NATIONAL BIBLIOGRAPHY MAY 2016 GOVT. OF INDIA CENTRAL REFERENCE LIBRARY MINISTRY OF CULTURE INDIA © THE LIBRARIAN CENTRAL REFERENCE LIBRARY MINISTRY OF CULTURE BELVEDERE, KOLKATA – 700 027 August 2016 Printed and published by the Librarian At the Central Reference Library, Kolkata Printed By: Star Link, 168/N, Keshab Chandra Sen Street, Kolkata – 700 009, Mob. 9830198824 PREFACE The Indian National Bibliography is a classified record of current Indian publications in fourteen major Indian languages including English received under the Delivery of Books Act, in the National Library, Kolkata. It has been in the service of librarians, research scholars, publishers and booksellers and those who are interested in the book world for the last 50 years. During these years, it has undergone vicissitudes of fortune with its initial regular appearance slowing down later to the extent of minimizing its active role as a significant book selection tool. Indian National Bibliography, the prime publication of the Central Reference Library, Calcutta, made its appearance as a quarterly in 1958 with annual cumulations. This arrangement continued till 1963. The periodicity was changed to monthly from January 1964, with annual cumulations. The monthly issues had to be suspended after 1977 forced by the circumstances beyond control. But at the same time persistent efforts were made to restore the periodicity to monthly as in 1964 and to revive its services to its clientele. This revival of the monthly issues was possible only from January 1984. Accordingly, all the monthly issues for 1984-1987 & 1989-93 have already been published. In order to clear the backlog and to make the publication up-to-date, for the period from 1994 -1999 only annual volumes are published.
