## Before the worksession
### Reader
We selected fragments of texts and organised them in a reader that was posted to the participants in the first week of May.
<ul>
<li>References and different possible orderings: <http://etherdump.constantvzw.org/p/unboundlibrary_reader.raw.txt></li>
<li>Pdfs <https://unboundlibraries.constantvzw.org/reader></li>
</ul>

### Conversations with participants during the month of May
As we were 21 unbound librarians trying to get to know each other, collaborate and exchange as much as possible, we decided to organise online conversations with each one during the month of May. People could listen in if they were interested. Every conversation was recorded and shared online.

### Interviews of local experts during the month of May
To prepare this worksession we organised a few interviews with people working in libraries.
<ul>
<li>Muntpunt, Lise Vanderpiete: Muntpunt is a public Flemish library in the center of Brussels where we would have organised the worksession in normal times. Last year they organised a 'decolonizing trajectory' for which they invited 13 curators who could select books to add to the collection. Lise Vanderpiete coordinated the project. [Recording](https://sound.constantvzw.org/Unbound_Libraries/Muntpunt_conversation_decolonising_Lise_Vanderpiete_200213.m4a)</li>

<li>KBR, Frédéric Lemmers: KBR is the acronym for Koninklijke Bibliotheek / Bibliothèque Royal. It is the Royal Library of Belgium located in the center of Brussels. Over the years they developed their own digitization department, managed now by Frédéric Lemmers. He gave us a tour of the department and highlighted the main challenges and issues.

</ul>
</li>

<li>KBR, Hannes Lowagie: As an employee of KBR Hannes Lowagie is responsable for the digital catalogue. Two years ago KBR decided to merge all the separate database systems - related to different departments, like 'coins', 'manuscripts' etc - into one. Hannes was responsible for this process. He has also some thoughts about how the profession of cataloguist is changing in the digital age. [Recording](https://bbb.constantvzw.org/webcams2.webm)</li>

<li>Cultuurconnect, Rosa Matthys: Rosa is retired since 5 months, but for 40 years she has been a cataloguist working on the federal system for Flanders. [Notes](http://etherdump.constantvzw.org/p/unboundlibrary_rosa.raw.txt) - [Recording](https://video.constantvzw.org/Unbound_Libraries/rosa_matthys_200522.webm)</li>

<li>Cultuurconnect, Annika Buysse: Annika is responsable for keywording & SISO/ZIZO system for libraries in Flanders. [Notes](http://etherdump.constantvzw.org/p/unboundlibrary_annika.raw.txt) - [Recording](https://video.constantvzw.org/Unbound_Libraries/annika_buysse_200526.webm)</li>

<li>Bruxelles nous appartient/Brussel behoort ons toe (BNA-BBOT), Séverine Janssen: BNA-BBOT is a 20 year old archive with audio recordings/stories from people living in Brussels by people living in Brussels. With Séverine we discussed the ideas of 'minor' archive, 'oral' history, participatory methods of collecting interviews/sounds/testimonies in Brussels. [Notes](http://etherdump.constantvzw.org/p/unboundlibrary_bna.raw.txt) - [Recording](https://video.constantvzw.org/Unbound_Libraries/.index/bna-bbot_severine_conversation_200518.ogg/play.mp3)</li>
</ul>

## After the worksession
<ul>
<li>A guided decolonial tour of the catalogue of Muntpunt with Heleen Debeuckelaere. Heleen is a historian, writer and organizer based in Brussels. She regularly contributes to Belgian and international media and was involved in the birth of the non-profit organization "Metissen van België" and the video channel Black speak Back. Last year she led a curators team on a special collection for the Muntpunt library on the theme of "decolonization" - 1h6: [https://video.constantvzw.org/Unbound_Libraries/recordings_worksession/heleen_debeuckelaere_tour.webm](https://video.constantvzw.org/Unbound_Libraries/recordings_worksession/heleen_debeuckelaere_tour.webm)</li>
