Workshop at DDB

Filed under: Conferences — William Denton @ 7:23 am

The Office for Library Standards at Die Deutsche Bibliothek had a FRBR event in July 2004: FRBR Workshop for Expert Group Members (that’s the English version; it’s also available in German).

On July 8 – 9, 2004, Office for Library Standards held a training course for members of the Expert groups constituted by the Committee for Library Standards. With Patrick LeBoeuf, Bibliothèque nationale des France, Dr. Barbara Tillett, Library of Congress, and Ed O’Neill, OCLC, internationally recognized experts could be gained for this workshop. Besides papers, discussions, and working groups for more intensive dealing with topics such as cataloguing, serials, authority files, and MAB2 format the creation and discussion of a German FRBR action plan draft was on the agenda.

There’s a list of PDFs of presentations by Christel Hengel-Dittrich, Patrick Le Boeuf, Ed O’Neill, Karin Schmidgall, and Barbara Tillett.
