The 1960s was a busy time for the Slavic and Central European Division, with many bibliographies compiled and published. The staff also worked at a high level on acquisitions of important research materials for the collections and took a number of overseas trips to build relationships and set up agreements with libraries in Europe. Likewise, foreign dignitaries arrived in droves to network, use the collections, or assist in the establishment of good working relationships between the Library of Congress and their countries and institutions. The division established Field Director's office in Belgrade to assist in implementing the new acquisitions program for Yugoslavia based on the PL480 program. In 1966 the division added Modern Greek to its roster of responsibilities, but one of the most monumental of changes for the future of libraries begins to take effect in the 1960s - the rise of automation and the development of the MARC record. The chief of the Slavic and Central European Division in the 1960s was Sergius Yakobson (1951–1971).
