Denton, FRBR and the History of Cataloging

I’m delighted to say that Libraries Unlimited granted me permission to post my chapter from Understanding FRBR: What It Is and How It Will Affect Our Retrieval Tools, edited by Arlene Taylor (ISBN 9781591585091).

I put it in the institutional repository where I work, York University: FRBR and the History of Cataloging (211 KB PDF).

It’ll be up for five years, then I have to reapply for permission to make it available for another five.

Martha Yee’s chapter FRBR and Moving Image Materials: Content (Work and Expression) versus Carrier (Manifestation) is also available in her university’s repository. I hope other writers in the book can put their chapters up, too.

  3. This is a great historical overview of cataloguing and the emergence of FRBR. I would encourage all to read Bill’s scholarly and entertaining contribution to the literature.
