CERL Annual General Meeting 2006
Organized by: CERL
Speaker(s): Speaker(s):
The Consortium’s 2006 Annual General Meeting, hosted by the National Széchényi Library, took place in Budapest on 11 November 2006. Dr Istvan Monok, Director-General, Dr Adam Horvath, Dr Judit Vízkelety-Ecsedy, Ms Barbara Kiss and their colleagues graciously received us in the Library. The hospitality throughout the three days of the meetings and the annual seminar was outstandingly congenial, and everyone was very impressed with the fine Library and the commitment of Library staff. It was a pleasure to welcome Glen Patton of OCLC to our meeting for the first time, and to welcome back Wes Taoka.
Following the decision by RLG and OCLC to combine their organization from 1 July 2006, responsibility for hosting the Hand Press Book (HPB) Database has been assumed by OCLC with effect from 1 October 2006, following the successful completion of contract negotiations. This decision was endorsed by the membership at the Annual General Meeting: both organizations look forward to mutually profitable future co-operation.
