In addition to the session devoted to updating the broader community about the BIBFRAME Initiative, there are a number of additional sessions/presentations that may be of interest to conference attendees. You can view them all here: http://www.loc.gov/ala/an-2013-bibframe.html "Booth" sessions are designed as introductions to the initiative and model, while other presentations will focus on specific issues. The Sunday LC BIBFRAME session is slightly different in that it offers a status update while featuring presentations that look at specific areas of and experimentations with the model. If you are attending ALA Annual, we hope to see you there.

The program speakers will address multiple facets of the development -- how it fits into the major thrusts of Library of Congress programs and how it will attempt to span the different data models of the library and related communities. Two institutions that are experimenting with the general model have been asked to report, along with a discussion of its relationship to schema.org, the recent search engine attempt at standardization. A video of the Bibframe Update Forum will be made accessible after the conclusion of ALA Annual Conference.
