Invitation to COBISS 2004 in Maribor |
|
Successful Conclusion of the COBISS 2004 Conference
The COBISS 2004 Conference took place from 9 to 11 November at the Habakuk
Convention Centre in Maribor. It was the thirteenth annual COBISS
conference and the first one held since Slovenia's accession to the EU. In these
new circumstances, the organiser IZUM undertook the mission to develop the
already existing links to a permanent contact point for professional circles
dealing with automation and the computer linking of libraries. The Conference
brought together speakers and participants from nine countries of Central and
South-Eastern Europe (Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czech Republic, Croatia,
Italy, Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro, Slovakia, and Slovenia) and
demonstrated that this area is well justified in being called the Region of
Opportunities.
The COBISS 2004 Conference featured two major events:
- the publication of the Slovenian translation of AACR2 and the
beginning of a broad discussion on the relationship between national and
international cataloguing rules; the most outstanding presentation was that
delivered by Barbara Tillett;
- the start of the automated exchange of
bibliographic records between national library systems in the COBISS.Net network.
Numerous renowned speakers and very attentive conference participants,
together with the organisers and the International Programme Committee, chaired
by Sigrid Reinitzer, marked, in the best possible way, the twenty years that
IZUM has taken care of library information systems development and maintenance.
On this occasion, a letter of congratulations was received from Janez Drnov¹ek,
President of the Republic of Slovenia.
