Charles Manson (Bodleian Libraries) gave a presentation in the Tibetan Information Technology panel, on

Development of a digital catalogue of the 
Bodleian Tibetan manuscripts: 
Bod Karchak @ the Bod.

 [Bod (pronounced böd )  is the transcribed Tibetan language word for Tibet, 
as well as being the 'nickname' for the Bodleian - a quirky pun.
'Karchak' is the Tibetan word for catalogue or table of contents: dkar chag.]
