What's FRBR and Why Do I Care?
Glenn Patton, OCLC
|
The IFLA Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) represents the first systematic analysis of what information is most needed in library catalogs, how staff and patrons use bibliographic data, and whether catalogers give patrons and staff the information needed. FRBR uses an entity-relationship model that helps catalogers understand the conceptual structure of information resources. Learn about the concepts of the FRBR model and how those concepts may change the catalogs you build for your users.

Open Source and Technical Services: Do They Fit Together?
Stephen Hedges, Nelsonville Public Library
Joshua Ferraro, Nelsonville Public Library
|

Yet well-established protocols and standards like MARC and Z39.50 should make it easy to dispense with proprietary technical services software. This session will discuss the current state of open source tools for technical services and describe some of the reasons librarians still seem to prefer commercial tools.
