Schneider, FRBRizing MARC Records with the FRBR Display Tool

Jodi Schneider is one of the #code4lib regulars and an editor of the Code4Lib Journal. In May she did a paper for library school and a couple of nights ago she pointed it out to me in IRC: FRBRizing MARC Records with the FRBR Display Tool.

Who Should Read this Report

This paper is aimed at three audiences:

  • Administrators who need to understand what FRBR is, how it benefits library users, and why trends towards increased digitization are making FRBRization even more important
  • Researchers interested in automatic methods for FRBRizing MARC records
  • Users of the FRBR Display Tool

I did some experimenting with the LC FRBR display tool last year, and am back doing more with it now, so I will read this with great interest!

It’s good to see library school students putting their papers online. I encourage all students to put their best papers on the web. Everybody benefits, especially the students.
