Further reports of the IFLA conference are trickling in from my correspondents around the world, and I can reveal that Patrick LeBoeuf stepped down and now Pat Riva is chair of the FRBR Review Group. She is “Romance Languages Cataloguing Librarian / Bibliographic Database Specialist” at McGill University in Montreal (and a fellow Canadian). There is a picture of her online, taken on the occasion of her receipt in April 2004 of a certificate acknowledging her work on incorporating FRBR into AACR.
