Campaign #1Lib1Ref

As it does every year,Abes supports the #1Lib1Ref operation and encourages the member institutions of its networks to take part. Like the BNU de Strasbourg, the SCD d'Aix-Marseille Université, the SCD de l'Université Bordeaux Montaigne, the BULAC, the Enssib or the SCD de l'université Gustave Eiffel (among others, see the list of participants from previous years HERE), join the community of Wikipedia contributors during the two 2023 "#1Lib1Ref" campaigns: from January 15 to February 5, then from May 15 to June 5.

Bibliographic transition

Presentations from the "Metadata in libraries" Professional Day are now online.
Chapter 9 of section 3 of the RDA-FR code, dedicated to the identification of persons and public identities of persons, is subject to a survey of professionals until January 31, 2023.
On the CfU (French Unimarc Committee), one of the two seats offered to SGB publishers was vacant: an appeal was launched to fill it and enable publishers to be better represented on this body. BibLibre joined Décalog, already a CfU member for several years. The aim of this important representation is to help the committee in its format evolution choices, taking into account user needs and existing technical constraints.

National licenses

Two new Springer Corpuses have been acquired under national licenses, thanks to CollEx-Persée funding: 130 ebooks in philosophy and 200 ebooks in Germanic studies. Reporting is not yet operational on Sudoc, but access is possible for institutions with an up-to-date account on the licencesnationales.fr website.
