Current bibliographic registration began in 1947. The titles of some series have changed. The series divided into three main parts. Together the service covers about 110,000 Soviet and 140,000 foreign titles annually. The monthly issues are not cumulated. These sources together with the national bibliography serve as a basis for the majority of retrospective subject bibliographies prepared in Russia.
The structure changed in 1992.
