A weblog following developments around the world in FRBR: Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records.
Maintained by William Denton, Web Librarian at York University. Suggestions and comments welcome at wtd@pobox.com.
Confused? Try What Is FRBR? (2.8 MB PDF) by Barbara Tillett, or Jenn Riley's introduction. For more, see the basic reading list.
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).
Erik Stattins’s Furbur och Amazon – Drutten och Jena, a blog entry from last Wednesday, is in Swedish (I think). It was prompted by another blogger writing about books and ISBNs. Even if you don’t read Swedish, however, you’ll recognize the diagram. He links to a paper by Marcus Westlind, Den senaste utvecklingen inom katalogisering och dess påverkan av ny teknologi (PDF) which I also can’t read but looks very interesting.
