Organized by: CERL
Speaker(s): Ann Matheson,Edwin Schroeder,Florent Palluault,Géza Bakonyi,Marina Venier,Mauro Guerrini,Neil Harris,Osvaldo Avallone
The 2005 Annual CERL Seminar took place in the splendid conference hall of the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Roma, on 11 November, the day before CERL’s Annual General Meeting. The title chosen this year was ‘Many into one’: this was intended to explore the problems and opportunities involved in creating shared catalogues of older books, such as CERL’s Hand Press Book Database.
About 170 people attended: the largest number so far for any of our Seminars. The local organiser at the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale, Dr Marina Venier, had done excellent publicity for the event in Italian library circles and had arranged simultaneous translation in Italian and English.
The papers from the 2005 Annual Seminar were published in November 2006 as as CERL Papers VI.
