A smarter, more skilled and more creative Netherlands

The KB houses the Dutch ISSN Centre. You can contact us to request an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) free of charge.

We prefer to receive publications digitally. If that is not possible, you can deposit physical publications by post.

The year 2021 was the third year that the KB, National Library of the Netherlands, followed the Working with Words (2019-2022) policy plan. We continued working on the strategic priorities set out in this policy: setting the written word ‘out to work’ in society, taking care of the written word, organising the infrastructure for the written word and developing our organisation and networks.

Individual digital publications can be deposited via our web desk.
