Denton, Ontario Library Association talk

I gave a talk yesterday at the 2008 Ontario Library Association Conference called FRBR: Who’s Using It and What Can I Expect Next?. It’s a general overview: a bit about what FRBR is, a bit about what’s going on with RDA and the WoGroFuBiCo, some examples (xISBN, thingISBN, AustLit), a few things to keep an eye on, and a few things I think will happen over the next year or two. I recorded it on my little MP3 player and there is a low quality MP3 recording (1 hour, 14 MB) available to go with it. (I have the original WAV file if any audio expert would care to clean it up.)

I encourage any of you who speak about FRBR to record your talks. Post them on the web and I’ll link to them! Or, if you don’t want to or can’t do the audio but can put up your slides, include the speaking notes too.
