The project "Cloud-based infrastructure for library data" (CIB) run by the German library consortia of Hesse (HeBIS), Bavaria (BVB), and Berlin-Brandenburg (KOBV) aims at a reform of the traditional division of tasks between local library systems and union catalogue systems. As a result cataloguing as well as local system functions will largely be transferred to international platforms.
