Information about the Drug Info book collection in your library.
The Drug Info book collection is a collection of up to ten plain English books about drugs and alcohol. It is a standardised collection, held by every library service in NSW. Each library service has two copies of the books in the Drug Info book collection. Public libraries may choose to make these items available for loan or keep them together as a set in their reference collection. Books may be interfiled within the library's main collections.
All of the books and booklets in the collection have been catalogued on Libraries Australia. You should easily be able to do copy cataloguing.
