Hillmann on RDA session at Midwinter

Dianne Hillmann posted No Discussion Discussion on RDA yesterday on the LITA blog. It’s about a session at the recent American Library Association Midwinter conference, where Resource Description and Access was discussed and FRBR came up. Worth reading as follow-up to the paper Hillmann and Karen Coyle wrote that has blogs and mailing lists (and, for all I know, telephone lines, post boxes, and pneumatic tubes) abuzz.

And don’t miss Jonathan Rochkind’s report on what went on at the FRBR Implementer’s session!
