Where to look for WoGroFuBiCo commentary

Filed under: Blog Mentions, Library of Congress — William Denton @ 7:42 am

FRBR-related discussion has exploded because of the report from the Working Group on the Future of Bibliographic Control. I can’t possibly keep up with it all, so here are some good places to go to see what people are saying, and have your own say:

Mailing lists: RDA-L, AUTOCAT (Gmane archive), NGC4LIB, possibly the FRBR mailing list which has been dormant for a while.

Web sites: These two aggregators will catch a lot: Planet Code4lib and Planet Cataloging. (There’s some overlap between them; this blog is on both.)

I’ll link to things of special interest over the next while, and perhaps try to post some batches of links. Right now, you’ll want to see Diane Hillmann’s comments on the WoGroFuBiCo report.

Add a comment if there’s another good place to keep up with all the excitement.
