FRBR

Functional Requirements for

Bibliographic Records

Report published by IFLA study group

(1997)

VTLS, LC & OCLC are particularly

interested in FRBR projects

21

It is the basis for RDA, coming soon!

Users of libraries do NOT understand our collections as we do

FRBR brings together collections in meaningful displays for them

It is up to us to ‘organize chaos’

Why is FRBR an important consideration?
