FRBR for the terrified: an introductory workshop from CIG/CILIPWM
The British Library and the Library of Congress have announced their
intention to implement RDA (Resource Description and Access) in the first
quarter of 2013. RDA is based on the conceptual model of FRBR (Functional
Requirements of Bibliographic Records) and initial testing of RDA among US
libraries noted that a good grasp of FRBR was crucial to an understanding
of RDA.
The Cataloguing & Indexing Group, in collaboration with CILIP West
Midlands, is offering this interactive FRBR workshop in order to help
people in a move towards RDA or to offer them a greater understanding of
RDA records that they may encounter from other libraries, even if they are
not planning to implement RDA themselves.
Workshop aim: to provide a basic understanding of the FRBR model and
familiarity with its vocabulary, which underpins the structure and
vocabulary of RDA.
The following topics will be covered:
- FRBR user tasks and the functions of the catalogue
- FRBR entities: work, expression, manifestation, item
- An introduction to FRBR attributes
- FRBR relationships
The CIG workshop includes plenty of examples and looks at how they are
dealt with by current cataloguing practice, as well as providing context
for future training in RDA. There will be opportunities for active
learning. No prior knowledge of FRBR or RDA is required. 'FRBR for the
terrified' should be of interest to cataloguers, systems administrators and
anyone with an interest in learning more about FRBR and preparing for RDA.
