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).
The archives of the Resource Description and Access mailing list (RDA being a FRBR-influenced set of rules for cataloguers to describe things in libraries) are now online. They’re not in a readable hypertext format, unfortunately, just one big text file per month which won’t open up in my mail reader. Nevertheless, if you absolutely need to check the archives, now you can.
