This book is ideal for anyone who aims to obtain an overview of the
current status of Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records
(FRBR) development. It helps identify the key FRBR issues that need
to be addressed and investigates the future directions of FRBR
development. Implementing FRBR in Libraries: Key Issues and Future
Directions is the first book to address the theory and
implementation of FRBR in a unified discussion. Authors Yin Zhang
and Athena Salaba, winners of the 2009 ALISE/Bohdan S. Wynar
Research Paper Competition Award,"" give readers a clear framework
for understanding FRBR's current and potential implications on
library catalogs. They provide a thorough introduction to the
history of FRBR and its possible benefits, a detailed description
of the FRBR model and its components, and a discussion of its
practical influence in transforming description standards,
cataloging and metadata practices. The book includes examples of
how professionals are successfully applying FRBR in real-life
library settings, and explores various methods for effectively
implementing the FRBR model. Each chapter includes illustrations to
help reinforce fundamental concepts. The book contains a
comprehensive appendix of key terms and acronyms to aid readers new
to the field and a list of projects and software to showcase
practical FRBR applications. Library catalogers, indexers, metadata
creators, reference librarians, researchers, and LIS educators and
students who need to know, or know more about, FRBR will find this
refreshingly straightforward book invaluable.
