IFLA conference and after-meeting in Durban

This year’s International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions conference is in Durban, South Africa, 19-23 August. The FRBR Review Group will be meeting there, and when they post their reports and minutes I’ll let you know.

If you’re going to the conference, you may want to stick around an extra day for the Library and Information Association of South Africa’s Interest Group for Bibliographic Standards day of events where one of the speakers will be the tireless Barbara Tillett on Resource Description and Access and FRBR.
