INTERVIEWS
To prepare this worksession we organised a few interviews with people working in libraries.
You can listen to snippets of the recording or to the entire recording.
### 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.
We interviewed Lise Vanderpiete who coordonated the project.
-> Listen to the conversation per topic: will be added soon!

### 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.

### 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.
