Blog mentions I’ve seen of FRBR at the ALA Midwinter conference that ended yesterday:

Taking FRBR Further at The Dewey Blog, about the ALCTS session with lots of interesting people talking. I wish I’d been there. Someone suggested FRAR and FRSAR be renamed FRAD and FRSAD?
Top Tech Trends, at the LITA Blog: “Is the promise of FRBR going to flesh out? ”
Emerging Technology Interest Group at the LITA Blog again. Someone mentioned FRBRized displays. No details.

I’ll keep an eye peeled for others. Leave a link or trackback or something if you were at a session and wrote it up.
