New Release Service
Overview
The New Release Service (ND) offered by the German National Library provides information on advance announcements and new publications.
It is based on reports sent by publishers to Verzeichnis Lieferbarer Bücher (VLB – German Books in Print). In accordance with the collection mandate, a selection of these title registrations will be displayed unchanged in the New Release Service. Data from the VLB regarding online publications will no longer be included, as the German National Library requires a simultaneous delivery of metadata alongside the digital object for online publications. Furthermore, incorporating VLB metadata for online publications based on the respective current version would lead to duplication of the data.
The New Release Service is not a part of the Deutsche Nationalbibliografie. Publications reported to VLB are classified by the German National Library according to the Deutsche Nationalbibliografie's Subject Categories, which in turn are based on Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC).
For this purpose a concordance is used. It was created intellectually by the German National Library and automatically translates the product groups provided in the metadata of VLB into Deutsche Nationalbibliografie's Subject Categories. The partnership between the German National Library and Marketing- und Verlagsservice des Buchhandels GmbH helps to ensure the Deutsche Nationalbibliografie is complete and up to date. Furthermore it improves the quality of VLB's metadata as the latter is enriched by authority data of the Integrated Authority File (GND) and DDC Subject Categories from the German National Library's data.
The German National Library offers the New Release Service every week as a free online journal in a PDF file (please note the online journal will be terminated 1 July 2025), in the freely accessible catalogue, through the OAI and SRU interfaces and through the data shop, while a free delivery is provided as part of the metadata service.
An overview of all available metadata as well as the different options of obtaining data is given here.
