Unlike countries like France and England, Brazil does not have a publishing tradition of current commercial or national public bibliographies in order to verify the domestic production of books for long periods, although the legal deposit is a reality for more than a century. Our main bibliographies were discontinued or lost continuity after a few years, making it difficult to conduct research on certain historical periods. At present, Brazil does not have a current national bibliography and the national library is struggling to keep their electronic records updated. In this perspective, it is argued that publishing catalogs can contribute to researches to allow the creation of bibliographies, although in most cases, do not adopt a controlled vocabulary to facilitate the retrieval of their records. With the advent of digital, several publishers have replaced the production of printed catalogs by providing online records. Therefore, we discuss, from this framework, the publishing catalog and the bibliography as research sources as well as analyze the progress and challenges for the production of these instruments nowadays.
