There are two ways to obtain bibliographic files that can be used to integrate the films available on NFB.ca into your catalogue: through the OCLC knowledge base or by downloading them from NFB.ca with an account that has permission.

OCLC offers the complete catalogue, in English and French, in KBART format or MARC 21 records.

From NFB.ca, you can download the complete English and French catalogue or monthly incremental files that list works added, removed or modified on the site. The full catalogue and incremental files are available in KBART format or MARC 21 records.
