Books: FRBR: A Guide for the Perplexed by Robert Maxwell (ISBN 9780838909508) and Understanding FRBR: What It Is and How It Will Affect Our Retrieval Tools edited by Arlene Taylor (ISBN 9781591585091) (read my chapter FRBR and the History of Cataloging).
The Technical Services Special Interest Section of the American Association of Law Libraries is having a half-hour session on FRBR next week at their annual conference: their blog entry on it says that Claudia Conrad from Innovative Interfaces will be talking about how to “Strategize and FRBRize Your OPAC.”
This will be one of those rare occasions when FRBR is discussed without the presence of any of Patrick Le Boeuf, Barbara Tillett, or someone from OCLC.
