ALCTS webinar: Don’t Tilt at Windmills, an Active Learning Approach to
Teaching FRBR
Date: December 1, 2010
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 2pm Eastern, 1pm
Central, noon Mountain, and 11am Pacific Time.
Description: FRBR first appeared twelve years ago, and although many of
its basic concepts are well known, how many of your staff have read and
understand the complete text? Do you know that, for example, chapter six
explains how to talk about FRBR with library administrators and public
service librarians?
This presentation will describe in greater detail our active training
methods for FRBR. Our novel and effective program engages the entire
cataloging staff with an interactive digress.it blog facilitating a
group close reading, hands-on simulations with small groups working
together with hundreds of strings of different colored yarn, and
debriefing to build consensus about how next-gen tools will be
implemented. The active process empowers library staff and the
observations from the debriefing foreshadow the major issues that will
be faced in implementing new tools at a particular library. This
training session is aimed at cataloging managers to help empower their
staff with new tools, anticipate challenges in implementation, and build
team morale.
Presenters: James P. Ascher is an Assistant Professor and Rare Book
Cataloger at the University of Colorado at Boulder since 2009, where he
teaches book history and maintains bibliographical databases. He holds
an MS in Mathematics in addition to his MLIS and has published on
bibliographical methods in RBM--the premier journal in rare books and
manuscripts studies.
Peter J. Rolla, Assistant Professor, Catalog Librarian, University of
Colorado at Boulder Libraries. He has an MLIS from Simmons College and
an M. Phil. in Spanish Language and Literature from Yale University
