| The BSB file is the largest file in HPB and you will regularly hit these records. As they are for holdings of the whole collection not only German (and Latin) books are recorded but also the rich holdings of foreign literature. The file is helpful for establishing that there is a copy held by the library and to survey a significant number of titles of early printing - it is meant to serve as a first step to bibliographic research. Any further bibliographic questions can be answered by own inspection of the book or by addressing the library for special information. Please note that any search with language or publication code will not be successful, and that a search with publisher will only lead to an unreliable result because the number of hits will be incomplete. The best way of searching the file is therefore by author and/or title. A standardised spelling of the first word of the title is provided if appropriate. The search can successfully be restricted by place of publication and publication year. | The BSB file is the largest file in HPB and you will regularly hit these records.
