Arlene Taylor editing new book on FRBR
Arlene Taylor, professor emerita at the University of Pittsburgh, is editing a book about FRBR. It’s called Understanding FRBR: What It Is and How It Will Affect Our Retrieval Tools, and it’ll be out in spring 2007 from Libraries Unlimited. It looks like it’ll be a good one and if you follow this blog you’ll want to read it. Here’s a list of who’s contributing chapters:
- Basic explanation of FRBR – Arlene Taylor
- Basic explanation of FRAR – Arlene Taylor
- FRBR as continuum since Panizzi – William Denton
- Research on FRBR and some FRBR projects – Ed O’Neill
- Interaction of FRAR and FRBR – Glenn Patton
- FRBR and RDA – Barbara Tillett
- FRBR and music – Sherry Vellucci
- FRBR and art works – Murtha Baca and Sherman Clarke
- FRBR and serials/continuing resources – Steve Shadle
- FRBR and moving image materials – Martha Yee
- FRBR and cartographic materials – Mary Larsgaard
- FRBR and archival materials – Alex Thurman
- FRBR and bibliographic families / superwork idea – Richard Smiraglia
That’s me doing the third one, about FRBR and the history of cataloguing. I’m delighted to have a chapter in the book and to be in such company. I’ll post more about the book as the release date gets nearer.
