Report on the Special Libraries Enumeration 2022 online conference

Abstract

On March 29, 2022, the Library of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office, the National Széchényi Library and the Social Sciences Section of the Hungarian Librarians’ Association jointly organized the 7th edition of the Special Libraries’ Enumeration. As last year, the conference was held online due to the pandemic, and more than 200 participants attended the 13 presentations. As in previous successful events, this year’s event presented the situation and results of individual special libraries and types of special libraries, and gave participants an insight into current issues and new national and international developments and trends in the field of special libraries. The programme was structured around five main topics: book restoration, the management of historic libraries, statistics, digitisation/Artificial Intelligence and research data management. The report provides an informative and useful overview of all 13 presentations.
