Co-Presenter Name(s): (none)

Area of the World from Which You Will Present: USA/Pennsylvania

Language in Which You Will Present: English

Target Audience(s): Catalogers, Systems Librarians, LIS students

Short Session Description (one line): FRBR holds great promise for serials, but many problems as well.

Full Session Description (as long as you would like): Now that the library world has a new cataloging code (or will in Jan. 2013), it is time to look at the underlying theory and what it can do for us. In the 4 years since I started working with FRBR and serials, I have discovered a number of things about its implementation, for paper serials, reprint volumes and digitized items. In sharing I hope to help others as much as they help me.
