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).
Careful readers of the draft of Part I of Resource Description and Access (562 KB PDF) will have noticed a certain something missing between chapter two and chapter four: namely, chapter three. Don’t worry, now the draft of Part I Chapter 3 of RDA (320 KB PDF) is available for download and comment. It’s titled “Technical Description.” I mention it because RDA is FRBRish, but I think you can safely skip this part.
