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).
Two days ago I quoted something that cited Patrick Danowski’s 2006 blog post Warum del.icio.us für Bibliothekskataloge untauglich ist. As you might suspect from the title, it’s in German. Good news for those of you who read English but not German: Danowski has translated it! Translation: Why del.icio.us Is Ineffectual for Library Catalogs. Danke!
