Good mailing lists?

Filed under: Uncategorized — William Denton @ 7:21 am

What mailing lists have discussion about FRBR? I know of two, the main FRBR mailing list (of course), and AUTOCAT (for cataloguers), and a Google search for mention of FRBR on Usenet led me to the archives of the Music Library Association’s mailing list (music librarians having to deal with work, expression, and so on every day). Also, the Semantic Web Interest Group talks about it. Are there are any others? Leave a comment if you recommend one.
