Day 4 of the 27th SCECSAL Conference; Mrs. Hedwich Helrin Meyer, Chief Librarian at the National Library of Namibia, unpacked the critical role of the Namibia National Bibliography (NNB) in preserving and providing access to the nationโ€™s published heritage.

The presentation highlighted how the NNB is built through legal deposit, systematic collection, cataloguing using international standards, and dissemination across print and digital platforms, supported by collaboration with local and international partners.

The session emphasized clear opportunities for progress:
โ€ข Strengthening capacity building
โ€ข Enhancing communication and coordination
โ€ข Investing in modern systems and technologies
โ€ข Increasing funding and strategic partnerships

The message was clear: safeguarding Namibiaโ€™s published heritage requires deliberate investment, collaboration, and innovation.
