Pre-conference, Friday, July 10, 8:30-5:00
Title: RDA, FRBR, FRAD: Making the Connection

Speakers: Barbara Tillett (Library of Congress), Glenn Patton (OCLC),
Robert Maxwell (Brigham Young Univ.), and Tom Delsey (JSC)
This pre-conference concentrates on the role of the Functional Requirements
for Bibliographic Records(FRBR) and the Functional Requirements for
Authority Data (FRAD) in Resource Description and Access (RDA). The
necessity of understanding these new conceptual foundations is key to the
transition to the future cataloging environment. Participants will hear from
a panel of experts on FRBR and FRAD attributes and relationships, new
terminology and concepts, and participate in practical hands-on exercises.
Location: Hyatt, Columbus Hall I/J
