Understanding FRBR: What It Is and How It Will Affect Our Retrieval Tools, edited by Arlene Taylor and published by Libraries Unlimited, has been delayed until November. I have a chapter in the book and was quite looking forward to seeing it this spring, but now you have six extra months to get an order for it into your library’s system. Rest assured I’ll let you know when it’s available.

Understanding FRBR is listed at Amazon.com now, if you want to get it that way.

UPDATE: Arlene Taylor left a comment with the revised contents listing, which I’ll add to the main body of this entry so that no-one misses it:
