In April, our annual General Assembly (GA) and Web Archiving Conference (WAC) returned to the National Library of France (BnF), where our consortium was created in 2003. Attendees from 34 countries and over 120 organizations gathered together to enjoy a program of truly inspiring presentations, workshops, panels, posters, and interactive discussions. We would like to thank our presenters, session chairs, and all of our focused and enthusiastic attendees for their time and efforts in ensuring the success of this year’s conference.
The main events took place at the BnF’s François-Mitterrand site, but we also had the opportunity to visit the historic Richelieu Library, where the conference delegates were welcomed by Gilles Pecout, the new president of the BnF. We are immensely grateful to our hosts and conference co-organizers at the BnF for all of their help in putting this event together, as well as to the French National Audiovisual Institute (INA) for partnering with us.
You can view over 65 recordings from the conference, including keynote speakers and a selection of workshops, on our YouTube channel. Be sure to visit our 2024 conference collection in the University of North Texas Digital Library to see presenter slides and posters.

Code4Lib
The Code4Lib community continues to appreciate CLIR’s hosting of our mailing list. Without the mailing list, the community would not be where it is today. As of today, there are about 3,800 subscribers. Most of them are from the United States, but there are subscribers from all over the world. Subscribers are mostly from academic libraries, but all different types of libraries are represented. It — the mailing list — gets a steady stream of traffic on topics ranging from simple technical support, to announcements, to inquires regarding the latest computer technology. Without the mailing list, the awareness of the annual conference and the quarterly journal would be much more difficult to increase. The mailing list really is the glue that holds the community together. “Thank you!”
More details about the list, its purpose, ways to subscribe, and links to archives are available at https://wiki.code4lib.org/MailingList
