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).
The RDA-L mailing list, where people discuss the draft of the new set of cataloguing rules Resource Description and Access, has been getting regular traffic the last week or two, but while RDA is FRBR-influenced, nothing really FRBRy has come up yet. It’s mostly finicky stuff that only dedicated cataloguers will care about. When archives go up, I’ll link to anything of particular FRBRosity.
