National Széchényi Library regards it of utmost importance to make available its collected cultural heritage to the widest possible audience, with the help of the latest, state-of-the-art devices and tools. In addition to updating and continuously developing its digital services, NSZL is keen on finding ways of cooperation with other libraries, in order to exchange and integrate the data of various collections.
Although the size of collections is the biggest in the national library, a system capable of embracing Hungary-related culture as a whole can be created only by way of a large-scale cooperation of as many institutions as possible.
Aiming at renewing its integrated library system, National Széchényi Library is considering the launch of an advanced system, capable of embracing and integrating systems of other libraries as well as setting up a joint catalogue. We aim at inspiring libraries to plan a common future at forums such as the so-called MOKKA association. As a major first step of jointly brainstorming with other libraries, we are inviting developers of integrated library systems, so that libraries could get first-hand information about the latest developments.
Within the framework of the event series, the latest library information management solutions will also be presented.
Venue: Ceremonial Hall of National Széchényi Library
