Bibliographers, experts and practitioners are invited to come together to examine the new Common Practices for National Bibliographies. Opened by Mathilde Koskas (Bibliothèque naionale de France, France), the session will break into tables to explore the issues surrounding the creation and maintenance of National Bibliographies. Participants will share their needs and practices as well as use and implementation cases, before closing remarks by Pat Riva (Concordia University, Canada).

The session’s outcomes will become part of the new cycle of development of the Common Practices, in response to fast-paced changes in actors, technologies and cataloguing standards.
