My Library Geek talk with Dan Chudnov

You already knew I’m a library geek, but now I’m one of the Library Geeks. Last month at the Access 2006 conference in Ottawa Dan Chudnov and I had a lengthy chat in the bar of the Chateau Laurier hotel and now it’s online.

Library Geeks 008 – FRBR and OpenFRBR has the show notes with some links and a correction to a mistake I made about Canadian history (the Last Spike wasn’t gold and it was placed in 1885). You can subscribe to the podcast feed (updated 9 November to point to the right place) to get all the shows, or just listen to our talk about FRBR and OpenFRBR (38.5 MB MP3, 85 minutes).

It was great to meet Dan and I enjoyed the talk very much. What could be more fun than two library geeks talking about FRBR while drinking wine (you’ll hear the waitress come by to ask if we want another glass) in the bar of one of Canada’s best hotels?
