on the proposition of the 12th Section which makes all decisions concerning
eventual additions to the Edinburgh Resolution, and all changes in its rules
and regulations.
The most important of the international institutions working with
bibliographical information is doubtless the bibliographical sub-commission
of the great Commission de Coopération Intellectuelle at Geneva and its
Institut International de Coopération Intellectuelle at Paris as executive
organ. During a succession of years, this sub-commission has been engaged
in important international bibliographical questions. It has for example
occasioned the publishing of Godets’ Index Bibliographicus and it prepares
collaboration in various fields of bibliographical natural science. It is
there-fore a palpable reason that our new Union, which embraces — and I do not
think I exaggerate — the greatest practical knowledge moreover within the
bibliographical sciences, in one way or another collaborates with the
Com-mission at Geneva and the Institut at Paris. At the meeting of the library
experts in the Institut a t Paris Feb. 12, this year, I explained — in my
capacity of chairman for the International Library and Bibliographical
Com-mittee — that this Committee was prepared to collaborate closely with the
Institut, undertaking such duties as the Institut would wish to entrust to its
care. This proposition was received with an expression of gratitude ön the
part of M. Luchaire, the director of the Institut, and the result was that
several of those questions discussed and prepared by the library experts for
the Commission at Geneva, were entrusted to the International Committee
for further investigation and attention at the Congress at Rome. The fact that
not less than three members of the bibliographical sub-commission at Geneva,
Godet, Krüss and Roland-Marcel will each respectively preside an
important section a t Rome, seems to me to be a favourable omen as regards
the sucess of this collaboration. The collaboration between the Commission
at Geneva and the Institut at Paris ön the one hand, and our newly
created Union ön the other, hereby, appears to me to have been
inaugura-ted in a most fortunate männer, whilst, in comparison, the relations
between the Committee and Bibligraphical Institut at Brussels seem, ön the
contrary, to be of less significance.
Another matter of importance concerning the new Library Union, is
the question of a fixed seat for its operations. To locate it at the place of
residence of the officiating president, as is the case at present, entails too
many serious inconveniences. This has proved to be the case with regard
to the preliminaries for the Congress at Rome, inasmuch, as difficulties in
