The North Rhine-Westphalian Bibliography ( NWBib ) lists the literature about the state of North Rhine-Westphalia , its parts and places as well as about people who work or have worked in the state. It encompasses all areas of life and subject areas, past and present.

It is one of the most extensive regional bibliographies in Germany and contains more than 400,000 titles. Since 1983 it has been compiled by the University and State Libraries in Düsseldorf and Münster in cooperation with the University Library Center of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (hbz). Volumes 1.1983 (1984) - 15.1997 (1999) initially appeared in print. All titles of the North Rhine-Westphalian Bibliography are now listed in the hbz network database of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and can be searched there. From the 1998 reporting year, the bibliography will be kept exclusively as an online database. The subject systematics, the subject systematics register as well as the spatial systematics and the spatial systematics register are available for systematic searches.

In addition to independent publications, a large number of articles from magazines and compilations are recorded. The proportion of these dependent publications is around two thirds. Around 550 journals are currently being continuously evaluated, including numerous regional yearbooks and local journals. Since 1994, the NRW bibliography has also included audiovisual and electronic media, and for a number of years also online publications, up to now mainly online magazines.

The titles are recorded according to the Resource Description and Access (RDA) rules . The content is indexed using its own classification system and verbally according to the rules for keyword cataloging (RSWK).

From 2014 to 2016, the hbz developed a modern website for the North Rhine-Westphalia Bibliography, which was officially launched for the North Rhine-Westphalia Day 2016.
