ALCTS FRBR Interest Group meeting at ALA

Mail sent from Rice Majors to AUTOCAT:

The next meeting of the ALCTS FRBR Interest Group will be at ALA Annual in Chicago on Friday, July 10, from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm, in the Chicago Hilton. The room assignment is Northwest 1.

If you would like to give a presentation or otherwise speak at the meeting, please do send me a note to let me know what you’ll be covering and how long you’ll need. Also on the agenda will be the election of a vice-chair/chair elect for this interest group. Finally, we’ll also plan to include a discussion time during the meeting for a less formal conversation about FRBR testing, workflow, implementations, and questions.

I’ve never been but from the looks of it you should check it out if you read this blog and you’re at the ALA. Some background:
