Országos Könyvtári Platform: A nemzeti könyvtár és a központi szolgáltatások informatikai megújításának programja.

A government decree in 2016 granted funds (cca. 10 billion HUF) from the state budget for the Hungarian National Library's IT development. Most of this support is intended for the purchase of hardware, software, and services, and is managed in partnership with the Governmental Information Technology Development Agency. The project is called National Library System (OKR); it consists of several components: infrastructure development, implementation of the library system, creation of a high-capacity digitizing workshop, content development, as well as development of the organization and its services. The National Library Platform (OKP) - as core of the OKR project - is a computerised system supporting library workflows in the national library. In addition, it enables services for the entire library system, and, among others, it operates central databases. The paper summarizes the basic requirements against OKP, presents its modules, and shows how OKP is going to serve a co-operative of Hungarian libraries. It summarizes the expected project results, i.e., renewal in three fundamental areas: the integrated system of the Hungarian National Library, the shared catalogues, and the system of the Hungarian National Bibliography).
