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).
The 2007 American Library Association Midwinter Meeting starts next week. The calendar of events lists one FRBR-related discussion, on Sunday 21 January: “FRBR: Will It Positively Impact Acquisitions? If So, How, and What Will It Take to Get There?” I hope someone blogs it and reports on what’s said; if someone does, I’ll link to it.
