News from ARLIS/UK & Ireland Cataloguing and Classification Committee


 
FRBR for art librarians:

FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) is the conceptual basis for RDA (Resource Description and Access). With the Library of Congress and the British Library working
towards full RDA implementation by 31 March 2013 and the hybrid environment of AACR2 and RDA already with us, it is essential to understand the thinking behind RDA. So if your WEMI (Work, Expression, Manifestation, Item) is wobbly or your entities and their relationships are a bit muddled this is the event for you.

Organised by ARLIS Cataloguing and Classification Committee, we are very pleased to announce that the halfday workshop will be led by Anne Welsh, lecturer in the Department of Information Studies at University College London (UCL), with examples drawn from art documentation.

The event will take place from 1.00pm – 5.00pm on Tuesday 18 December 2012 at the University of East London, Docklands Campus, with an opportunity for networking with fellow attendees after the event over a glass of wine or soft drink.
