Description
Summary:The conceptual model known as "FRBR" (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) reminds us of the basic elements in describing materials in the bibliographic universe, the inter-relationships, and the fundamental user tasks that we are trying to address when we create library catalogs. This model provides a new perspective on cataloging that should influence the design of future systems, cataloging codes, and cataloging practices. This paper explores current activities to utilize the FRBR model within cataloging principles, cataloging codes, and cataloging systems, and offers questions, visions, and suggests some next steps.
