ALA preconference: RDA, FRBR, and FRAD: Making the Connection
A FRBRy one-day preconference before the 2009 American Library Association conference is scheduled. Description taken from this PDF:
RDA, FRBR, and FRAD: Making the Connection
Friday, July 10, 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
This pre-conference concentrates on the role of the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and the Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD) in Resource Description and Access (RDA). The necessity of understanding these new conceptual foundations is key to the transition to the future cataloging environment. Participants will hear from a panel of experts on FRBR and FRAD attributes and relationships, new terminology and concepts, and participate in practical hands-on exercises.
Speakers: Barbara Tillett, Chief, Cataloging Policy and Support Office, Library of Congress; Robert Maxwell, Metadata & Special Collection Cataloging Dept Chair, Brigham Young University; Tom Delsey, RDA Editor, JSC; Glenn Patton, Director, WorldCat Quality Management, OCLC

Via e-mail John F. Myers sent to AUTOCAT. Sounds like there’ll be a lot of RDA on the agenda at the ALA.
Thanks for keeping us posted as always. While searching, I discovered that one of your colleagues linked to some of the conference presentations from http://www.yorku.ca/yul/bibserv/blog/?p=230.
