Über Autor(innen)

Hannes Lowagie joined the Royal Library of Belgium in 2012 and was appointed head of the cataloguing department in 2022. A key aspect of his role has been the development of a retrocataloging application, which is designed to streamline the process of digitising older bibliographic records. He is currently in the process of adapting this application for use with contemporary publications that enter KBR through legal deposit, ensuring that both historical and modern collections are catalogued efficiently and with the most up-to-date tools available.
