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).
Earlier this month Jennifer Koerber reported on Bill Moen’s talk on The Future of MARC at a conference.
That comes out of the MARC Content Designation Utilization project, which Moen and Shawne Miksa are running. They’ve put up some information up about the Extent of Support for FRBR User Tasks. Interesting.
William Moen was mentioned here last September in another post about the user tasks.
