Subject: FRBR IG ALA Annual Program announcement and call for volunteer

This is being posted to multiple lists, so please excuse duplications.

The FRBR Interest Group would like to announce their program for ALA Annual in Anaheim.

Friday, June 22, 10:30-12:00, Anaheim Convention Center room 202A

Please join us for two very interesting presentations on FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) and its impact on cataloging and catalogs.

Jennifer Bowen, Assistant Dean for Information Management Services at the University of Rochester River Campus Libraries and Chair of the eXtensible Catalog Organization
                The eXtensible Catalog (XC) is free, open source software that provides a production system for converting MARC, Dublin Core, and potentially other metadata schemas for use in a FRBR-based discovery environment.  XC's software development and accompanying user research show how the FRBR model  directly supports the needs of users and has taught us important lessons about implementing FRBR in a production environment.  These lessons can also help guide us as we examine the feasibility of incorporating the FRBR model into the creation of linked data for libraries.     .

Scott Piepenburg, Cataloging Coordinator/Metadata Librarian University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point
                Scott will present on the basics behind FRBR and it impacts cataloging and an ILS.  He will discuss how FRBR is related to Ranganathan's theory of cataloging and how an ILS can use the information.  The presentation will offer theoretical and concrete examples of FRBR principles in practice and how they apply to real-like objects.  It concludes with a discussion and example of how an ILS may, or may not, be designed around FRBR principles.

The FRBR IG is also calling for a volunteer to serve as Vice-Chair for 2012-2013 and then Chair the next year. Please  express interest to Karen at the contact information below.
