Pro Bibliotheca Universitatis – Honorees for the year 2022

In Christmas time 2022, the ELTE University Library and Archives awarded the Pro Bibliotheca Universitatis Certificate of Merit to Anna Orbókné Jagiello and Kinga Sutócki, staff members of the Collection Management Department, thanking them for their high quality and prestigious professional work.

Anna Jagiello Orbókné was honoured for her high quality professional work over three decades and for her role in building the ELTE University Library and Archives' national and international relations. She has consistently performed her duties with high standards, conscientiousness and diligence. Her precision and helpfulness have been demonstrated in the exploration of the content and form of books and journals in the Slavic language family, in the Hungarian and Polish languages, in the support of the Secretariat's work, and in the direct service of library users in the Public Services Department between 2013 and 2018. She has also been involved in the compilation of literature surveys in various disciplines and in the provision of electronic information. She has continuously helped to build the University Library and Archives' national and international relations, especially with Poland. She regularly carries out technical and administrative translations, accompanies delegations and gives professional presentations to Erasmus+ fellows.

Kinga Sutócki's dedicated work, in particular her central journalistic duties at the ELTE University Library and Archives and her participation in the institution's events for more than 20 years, has contributed significantly to the University Library and Archives' reputation. The tasks entrusted to her have always been carried out with reliability, precision and conscientiousness. During her years at the University Library, she first put her expertise and skills to good use in the Public Services Department. In 2014, she joined the Collection Management Department as a member of the Periodicals Team, where she supports effective communication with staff in ELTE libraries and with public partners. She also ensures the quality of her processing work. As part of the University Library's events team, she is one of the permanent leaders of the library tours, helping to maintain and enhance the reputation and prestige of the institution by presenting our wide range of services, library history and curiosities.

The staff of the ELTE University Library and Archives wishes them every success and pleasure in their future endeavours!

Jesuit Missions in the Early Modern Period – The new library calendar is now available

The 2023 calendar of the ELTE University Library and Archives presents the Jesuit missions of the early modern period through some of the library's museum publications.

The pages of the calendar offer an insight into the diversity of our collections and cultural assets, and pay tribute to the 300th anniversary of the birth of George Pray. As the founder of Hungarian critical historiography and director of the University Library, the Jesuit monk also enriched the library's holdings with his private collection, which we keep as a treasure in our manuscript archive. An electronic version of the calendar is available here.

The representative wall calendar was published under the management of the Prime Minister’s Office, with the support of the National Cooperation Fund, the Bethlen Gábor Fund Management Ltd. and the Foundation for the University Library.  

For information about the support options of the Foundation for the University Library, please, visit our website. More details about our book adoption program can be found here!
