Libraries Australia is a resource sharing service hosted by the National Library of Australia for Australian libraries and their users. It is used for reference, collection development, cataloguing and interlibrary lending. The heart of Libraries Australia is the Australian National Bibliographic Database (ANBD), which records the location details of over 42 million items held in most Australian academic, research, national, state, public and special libraries.
The Libraries Australia service replaces earlier systems and the Australian Bibliographic Network (ABN) - which was created in 1981 to foster resource sharing by Australian libraries.
