Kenya National Bibliography
The Kenya National Bibliography (KNB) is a comprehensive record compiled by the Kenya National Library Service (knls) that captures and catalogs the diverse range of publications produced in Kenya. It serves as a systematic and detailed listing of books, journals, maps, and other printed materials published within the country during a specific time period. The KNB is a critical tool for preserving Kenya’s national literary heritage, providing a comprehensive overview of the intellectual and cultural output of the nation. It includes information about authors, titles, publishers, and publication dates, offering valuable insights into the development and trends within Kenya’s publishing industry. The compilation of the KNB is facilitated through the legal deposit system, where publishers are required to submit copies of their publications to the knls for archival and documentation purposes. This bibliographic resource serves as a reference for researchers, scholars, and the general public interested in exploring the literary landscape of Kenya.
