FRBR: How it can help you prepare for RDA: Live Instructor Led Online Course

Tuesday October 13, 2009
2:00 PM until 4:00 PM

FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) was created in 1998 and is the basis for the new RDA (Resource Description and Access). RDA is slated to replace AACR2 and be released in early 2010. Come and explore the new vocabulary and the bones of FRBR. By identifying FRBR, you are ready to recognize RDA when it is completed. Lively discussion is encouraged. This class is geared towards both lecture and discussion. Extra time has been built into the class to encourage free flowing discussion of the topics.
Prerequisites: Participants should have a basic knowledge of cataloging principles and MARC format. Short homework assignments are required after each session. Class participation includes discussion (both verbal and text available) and contribution to cooperative assignments.

This course consists of two 2-hour sessions. WMRLS will issue a coupon code to all registrants that waives the $360 per person course fee.

The online course is made available through WebJunction which is supported in part by OCLC, grants from IMLS and The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, our partners in state library agencies and other library service organizations, and by the library community.
