19 September 2001 in the Music Collection of the Szabó Ervin Metropolitan Library: A meeting was held to discuss indexing systems for local studies material. This topic was put on the Group's agenda for two reasons. Firstly, a session on indexing had been planned for the Kaposvár Conference but had been postponed due to time constraints. Secondly, Rudolf Ungváry had compiled a general thesaurus, Köztaurusz, which could also be developed for local studies collections. It was agreed that this thesaurus would be completed with the help of local studies librarians. 1 October 2002 in the Budapest Collection of the Szabó Ervin Metropolitan Library: The theme of indexing was continued at this day-school. Rudolf Ungváry demonstrated Köztaurusz for indexing certain local documents. Once again he offered the Relex software to the libraries, free of charge. 3.4.2.
