MacCall, From Tablets to FRBR

Filed under: Education — William Denton @ 7:36 am

Steven MacCall, a prof at the library school at the University of Alabama, has posted slides from a lecture in his Information of Organization class: Historical Overview of Information Organization, AKA The ‘From Tablets to FRBR’ Lecture (requires Flash). It’s lecture three in his course and it looks like his students got a good introduction to FRBR. His students blog about their readings (for example, see Course Blog in Alabama in July 2005) and there’s always something about FRBR assigned.
