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).
I did a review of FRBR: Hype or Cure-All? (the special FRBR issue of Cataloging & Classification Quarterly edited by Patrick Le Boeuf, also available as a book) for portal: Libraries and the Academy 6:2 (April 2006). The table of contents is online and if you have access to the journal, you can go on to read the review. I’ll post my original text here soon.
