A bibliographic database is an organized collection of references to published materials, such as books, articles, and reports. These databases provide information about the materials, including author, title, publication details, and sometimes abstracts or full text. Researchers use bibliographic databases to find relevant sources for their research or to explore the existing literature on a particular topic.

Bibliographic control refers to the organization and management of bibliographic information to ensure accessibility and retrieval of resources. It is necessary to control information to prevent chaos, facilitate efficient searching and retrieval, maintain accuracy, and enhance usability of resources within a collection or database. Proper bibliographic control helps users locate relevant materials quickly, aiding research, education, and information dissemination.
