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).
Roy Tennant did a webcast on 17 January 2006 for Infopeople called Leading Edge Technologies for Libraries. He spoke for an hour, and the audio is available (67 MB MP3). The whole talk is worth a listen; I mention it here because he discusses FRBR for several minutes starting at about the 16 minute mark, demonstrating RedLightGreen and OCLC’s Curiouser.
