Audio: Antelman interview

Filed under: Audio/Video, Implementations — William Denton @ 7:35 am

Kristin Antelman works at the North Carolina State University library and has written about FRBR and posted comments right here pon this blog. In the spring of 2006 she was interviewed for a podcast series from the Coalition for Networked Information. You can download the interview directly (15 MB MP3). It’s about the debut of the spiffy NCSU library catalogue, which is now slightly old news, but I mention it because at about the 12:00 minute mark Antelman mentions FRBR and their plans to implement it. The whole interview is interesting and worth a listen.

Come back tomorrow to see Martha Yee do the Four FRBR Questions!
