ALA sessions on FRBR and FRAD
At the big American Library Association conference in California a couple of weeks ago there was a well-attended session called Getting Ready for RDA and FRBR: What You Need to Know. The indefatigable Barbara Tillett (Library of Congress) and Glenn Patton (OCLC) were there, and Barbara Bushman (National Library of Medicine) filled in for Shawne Miksa who couldn’t make it. That blog post has some background information on all three and links to some useful things if you’re new to it all. There’s more on this page that has links to all slides and so on from conference presentations but you’ll have to scroll down a bit to the right section.
You Know FRBR, But Have You Ever Met FRAD was the next day, Sunday 29 June. Glenn Patton spoke again, as did Ed Jones (National University Library), and Athena Salaba (Kent State) and Lois Mai Chan (University of Kentucky) talked about FRSAR (Functional Requirements for Subject Authority Records). Slides are also available but again you’ll have to scroll down a bit or just search the page for FRAD.
I wish there were audio recordings of these talks!
