Antelman on e-resources
In July there was a conference at Mississippi State University about e-journals, and the presentations are described on NASIG’s blog. Kristin Antelman gave a talk called “The FRBR Frontier: Applying a New Bibliographic Model to E-Resources:”
In her presentation “The FRBR Frontier: Applying a New Bibliographic Model to E-Resources,” Kristen Antelman, Associate Director for the Digital Library at North Carolina State University, provided an overview of how the principles of the FRBR model have the potential to enhance the means through which users search a library’s information retrieval system in order to locate and access e-resources. Antelman discussed current perspectives on the applicability of FRBR to continuing resources and explored some of the concepts associated with seriality in FRBR, including aggregates and the “superwork.”
