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).
I told you that Arlene Taylor’s collection Understanding FRBR: What It Is and How It Will Affect Our Retrieval Tools was out. Robert Maxwell, who works at the Brigham Young University library, has a book out too: FRBR: A Guide for the Perplexed. I mentioned it before when it was announced, but now it’s out and you can order a copy.
I haven’t seen it yet, but if you have, feel free to leave a comment or review. Two FRBR books in two months!
Hey Bill, I was able to buy a copy of Robert Maxwell’s book today at the ALA Midwinter conference. I also tried to get Arlene Taylor’s book, but it was sold out! FRBR is definitely one of the hot topics at this conference.
