  1. Basic Overview of FRBR & RDA Why, Who, What, Where, and When?? Donna R. Campbell Technical Services & Systems Librarian Westminster Theological Seminary Jan. 26, 2011

  2. FRBR & RDA • WHAT is it and WHY should I care?

  3. FRBR & RDA • WHAT is it and WHY should I care? • FRBR (pronounced fer-ber)

  4. FRBR & RDA • WHAT is it and WHY should I care? • FRBR (pronounced fer-ber) = Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records

  5. FRBR & RDA • WHAT is it and WHY should I care? • FRBR (pronounced fer-ber) = Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records • RDA

  6. FRBR & RDA • WHAT is it and WHY should I care? • FRBR (pronounced fer-ber) = Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records • RDA = Resource Description and Access

  7. FRBR & RDA • First, came FRBR…

  8. FRBR & RDA • First, came FRBR… • Then, came RDA…

  9. FRBR & RDA • First, came FRBR… • Then, came RDA… • FRBR and RDA are intertwined in that RDA is a set of cataloging rules based upon the FRBR conceptual model.

  10. FRBR & RDA • First, came FRBR… • Then, came RDA… • FRBR and RDA are intertwined in that RDA is a set of cataloging rules based upon the FRBR conceptual model. • In order to better understand RDA, we should get a grasp of what FRBR is.

  11. FRBR • WHAT is the FRBR conceptual model?

  12. FRBR • WHAT is the FRBR conceptual model? • The next slide will give a brief introduction.

  13. FRBR • WHAT is the FRBR conceptual model? • The next slide will give a brief introduction. • The video moves quickly but don’t panic, just skim to get familiar with terms and ideas. We’ll cover them later.

  15. FRBR & RDA • The BIG question is WHY the change and WHY does it matter to me especially if I’m not a cataloger?

  16. FRBR & RDA • The BIG question is WHY the change and WHY does it matter to me especially if I’m not a cataloger? • Potential changes to ILS and search and retrieval differences

  17. FRBR & RDA • The BIG question is WHY the change and WHY does it matter to me especially if I’m not a cataloger? • Potential changes to ILS and search and retrieval differences • Simplify (cut cost) in the cataloging sharing environment especially the digital environment

  18. Everyone

  19. Everyone • Changes in searching techniques to glean more information

  20. Everyone • Changes in searching techniques to glean more information • Interpreting the search results

  21. Administrators

  22. Administrators • Changes in job descriptions for traditional catalogers and metadata catalogers (AACR2 knowledge as well as RDA)

  23. Administrators • Changes in job descriptions for traditional catalogers and metadata catalogers (AACR2 knowledge as well as RDA) • Provide training for the major changes in cataloging rules

  24. WHEN did FRBR come about?

  25. 1998, Way Back When… • International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) • Final Report on Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) • International cataloging principles and standards were developed over time in a different environment.

  26. How Was It Different?

  27. How Was It Different? • An age before automated and integrated library systems such as TLC, III Millennium, ExLibris Voyager, Horizon, and SIRSI Unicorn.

  28. How Was It Different? • An age before automated and integrated library systems such as TLC, III Millennium, ExLibris Voyager, Horizon, and SIRSI Unicorn. • An age before national and international large-scale databases (e.g., OCLC), where thousands of libraries contribute catalog records.

  29. How Was It Different? • An age before automated and integrated library systems such as TLC, III Millennium, ExLibris Voyager, Horizon, and SIRSI Unicorn • An age before national and international large-scale databases (e.g., OCLC), where thousands of libraries contribute catalog records. • Furthermore, it was an age prior to shared cataloging…each library did original cataloging for each book. Indiana catalogers did not borrow cataloging from Pennsylvania catalogers much less Australia.

  30. How Was It Different? • Increased need to reduce cataloging costs by decreasing duplicate cataloging and simplifying the cataloging process due to economic pressures and increase in publications.

  31. How Was It Different? • Coupled with the increase in publications and need for simplification of cataloging rules, has been the advent of new formats of publications coming at us with increased rapidity as well as the use of information sources that are networked and licensed (i.e., more and more complexity and labor time)

  32. How Was It Different? • The changing environment includes user expectations and needs.

  33. How To Adapt To Changing Environment?

  34. How To Adapt To Changing Environment? • FRBR was born--

  35. How To Adapt To Changing Environment? • FRBR was born-- • Beginning in 1990 with international reviews and comments and ending with the Final Report in 1998, IFLA constructed a framework of the goals of a bibliographic record and what a basic record should look like in this present age with the aforementioned changes in mind. This is how FRBR came about.

  36. WHAT is FRBR?

  37. WHAT is FRBR? • More user-focused rather than format-focused

  38. WHAT is FRBR? • More user-focused rather than format-focused • Entity-relationship conceptual model

  39. WHAT are Users?

  40. WHAT are Users? • Not just as library patrons but users outside the traditional library such as publishers and retailers.

  41. How is FRBR more user-focused? • Functional requirements for bibliographic records are defined in relation to four user tasks.

  42. Four User Tasks • Find

  43. Four User Tasks • Find • Identify

  44. Four User Tasks • Find • Identify • Select

  45. Four User Tasks • Find • Identify • Select • Obtain

  46. Four User Tasks • Find: Users use bibliographic records to find materials that correspond to their search criteria such as a specific title or all information sources covering a desired subject matter. • Identify • Select • Obtain

  47. Four User Tasks • Find • Identify: Users use the retrieved data in bibliographic records to identify an entity. That is, the user uses the data in the record to confirm that is the information source he wants. Example: User can distinguish between two records that have same title but different texts. • Select • Obtain

  48. Four User Tasks • Find • Identify • Select: Users use the retrieved data in bibliographic records to select an entity that is appropriate to his needs. Example: Select a text that is in the language he desires. • Obtain

  49. Four User Tasks • Find • Identify • Select • Obtain: Users use the retrieved data in bibliographic records to acquire or obtain access to the entity described. Examples: to retrieve it from the library shelf, to place an ILL request, to access the full text online)

  50. WHAT is an entity-relationship conceptual model?
