FRBR: Things You Should Know, But Were Afraid to Ask was a talk Barbara Tillett gave at the Library of Congress in March and the video of it is now online.

This presentation for non-catalogers is intended to present basic concepts and benefits of using the FRBR conceptual model (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) in resource discovery systems.
