ALCTS webinar: FRBR as a Foundation for RDA
Date: December 15, 2010
Time: All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 2pm Eastern, 1pm
Central, noon Mountain, and 11am Pacific Time.
Description: This webinar will cover the basics of FRBR, including its
development and contents. Participants will leave the webinar with an
understanding of the entity-relationship model on which FRBR is based,
the FRBR entities and relationships, and the FRBR user tasks. The
webinar will then address, through an exploration of RDA itself, how
FRBR lies at the foundation of RDA’s structure, and what implications
that might have on future database structures for our catalog descriptions.
Presenter: Robert L. Maxwell, one of the foremost authorities in the
cataloging field, is senior librarian and chair of the Special
Collections and Formats Catalog Department at the Harold B. Lee Library
at Brigham Young University. His most recent book, FRBR : A Guide for
the Perplexed, was published in 2008. He has chaired RBMS Bibliographic
Standards Committee of ACRL and has served on the Committee on
Cataloging: Description and Access (CC:DA) of ALCTS. He is the author of
the Highsmith Award-winning Maxwell's Guide to Authority Work
and/Maxwell's Guide to AACR2. He holds a MLS from the University of
Arizona, JD and MA from Brigham Young University, and PhD in classical
languages and literature from the University of Toronto.
