FRBR at Wyoming conference

Filed under: Blog Mentions, Conferences — William Denton @ 7:49 am

Janet Ahrberg was at the combined Mountain Plains Library Association/Wyoming Library Association conference last week, and in this entry from the conference’s blog she’s all revved up about FRBR:

I especially enjoyed the Friday program “Reference Resource Sharing and FRBR: Why Should I Care.” Because of it, I’m going home with “FRBR” firmly implanted in my head. I will be checking out FBERized records on RedLightGreen and OCLC’s Fiction Finder databases. This PowerPoint presentation will soon be posted on the MPLA Website. I encourage you to check it out to learn more.
