Don't Be Dysfunctional; How to Put the Functional Requirements for
Bibliographic Records (FRBR) in Your Future
When: Sunday, June 22, 8:30 am--12:00 pm
Where:  Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, Dominion Room

A number of models have the potential to influence the future development of
information standards within the library community.  Pre-eminent among these
models is the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), a
product of study by the International Federation of Library Associations and
institutions, and the related Logical Structure of AACR2.  The program is
intended to acquaint technical services professionals, including the
catalogers and systems librarians, with the implications of these models for
cataloging rules, and to present MARC formats along with other emerging
international standards for electronic technologies.
