A weblog following developments around the world in FRBR: Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records.
Maintained by William Denton, Web Librarian at York University. Suggestions and comments welcome at wtd@pobox.com.
Confused? Try What Is FRBR? (2.8 MB PDF) by Barbara Tillett, or Jenn Riley's introduction. For more, see the basic reading list.
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).
Library student and blogger “Kelly” posted LS 500 Humphry Clinker on her blog, a commentary on Ed O’Neill’s paper about FRBRizing Humphry Clinker. Good to see this kind of thing assigned as reading in library school courses.
One thing I like about that OCLC project is that it’s made me remember that it was Tobias Smollett who wrote Humphry Clinker, not Humphry Clinker who wrote Tobias Smollett.
