The Future of Cataloging: A Palinet Symposium

(I saw this posted on David Bigwood’s Catalogablog.)

The Future of Cataloging: A Palinet Symposium was held on 29 May 2008. It looks like it was a really interesting day, so go have a look. I mention it specially because John Attig of Pennsylvania State University gave a talk called “Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and Current Development and Implementation Plans for Resource Description and Access (RDA).” The slides and audio for all of the talks are up, so pop over and download.
