Library Technology Reports upcoming issue on FRBR

Filed under: Papers — William Denton @ 7:05 am

Brad Eden of the University of Nevada at Las Vegas is doing an issue of Library Technology Reports later this year (42 (6)) titled “Report on FRBR.” It’ll be out around Christmas, and you’ll be hearing about it before then, so there’s no rush on putting reminders in your calendar. I asked Brad Eden what he has planned, and he said he “will provide a bibliography of resources, and will probably focus on access to catalogs and other implementations of FRBR that are currently available out there.” Who knows what interesting implementations will come along in 2006!
