It records monographs and periodicals, geographical maps and musical prints regardless of their publication form (i.e. printed editions) as well as electronic issues and multimedia works. Sound and video recordings are not subject to the media law. In the case of periodicals (i.e. newspapers, magazines, yearbooks and loose-leaf editions), only the first-time publication, a major title change or the discontinuation of publication are shown. Series A of the Austrian bibliography appears monthly, while geographical maps and musical prints are published retrospectively as annual special editions.
