Audio: Bigwood on free MARC tools

David Bigwood, who runs Catalogablog (a blog about cataloguing, as you might guess), gave a talk about MARC tools at a conference last November. He put up a recording of it, as well as the text.

He discusses the Library of Congress’s FRBR Display Tool starting a little after the seven minute mark. (Of course, if you’re interested in free MARC tools, you’ll want to hear all of it.)
