IFLA home page for FRBR
There’s so much FRBR news these days it’s hard to ration it out to one post a day. Coming up soon: Arlene Taylor’s collection Understanding FRBR is out, and Michael Gorman issued another broadside. But today, IFLA.
FRBR was created by the FRBR Working Group, which was formed by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions, or IFLA. (Why not IFLAI? Good question.) A couple of years ago, the Working Group became the FRBR Review Group. Its home page, or the FRBR Final Report itself, are what most people link to when they hyperlink “FRBR.”
But now there is a home page just for FRBR itself. It has links to the Final Report, translations (the FRBR term “expressions” being confusing to the average person), a basic reading list on FRBR, and the mailing list. If you need to hyperlink the term “FRBR,” this is a good place to link. Good work by Pat Riva (chair of the Review Group) and IFLA in setting this up.
