The online catalogue of the Central Library of the Corvinus University of Budapest has been built since 1989. The retrospective cataloguing of the part of the collection acquired before 1989 also started. From the end of the 1990s, documents in electronic format (on CD-ROM, floppy disc, and finally online) were also incorporated in the collection and thus in the online catalogue. The cataloguing of e-documents is carried out in compliance with the relevant national regulation (KSZ/2 2000, Bibliographical description, Electronic documents). The metadata standard issued in 2004 (MSZ ISO 15836, Information and documentation, The Dublin Core metadata element set) makes it possible to use optional data elements that can be viewed in both html and xml formats. The library receives the PhD dissertations on floppy and after the dissertation is defended, the electronic format is attached to the bibliographical records of the work received in paper format. Other publications of the teaching staff as well as conference papers are usually received as e-documents. The processing of e-documents not stored on the local server is only a long-term plan, as the library has not elaborated yet its policy regarding the acquisition and cataloguing of these documents. The Library has joined the new project of the Hungarian National Shared Catalogue dealing with documents published before 1850 (MOKKA-R). 13 historical core economic books were scanned in the Digital Archive of the Library with additional state funding.
