Cataloguing-in-Publication (CiP)

CiP is a free service offered by the National Library of Australia. It involves the preparation of a cataloguing entry for a book before the book is published. This CiP entry, which is derived from information supplied to the CiP Unit by publishers, appears in the printed book. The provision of CiP data to Australian publishers is a free service provided by the CiP Unit within the National Library of Australia.
