Demystifying FRBR and FRAR is on the program for the Canadian Library Association conference in Ottawa this summer. It’s on Friday 16 June 2006. Tom Delsey will be there, and you’ll remember him from the FRBR Final Report. Also, I think that Pat Riva, chair of the FRBR Review Group, will be there. Many other Canadian FRBRites will also attend, I’m sure, but I probably won’t.
