- FRBR Cataloging's Future Is Closer than You Think! Adamich, Tom Libraries Bibliographic Databases Cataloging Users (Information) Elementary Secondary Education Library Materials Documentation Indexing Through the decades, the kinds of materials found in libraries have grown and changed, adapting to the needs of library users as well as economic, social, and even environmental factors. Similarly, the presentation format for cataloging content has changed. Another change is about to emerge in cataloging, and its name is FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records), pronounced "fur-ber" (Hart 2006). While the initiative is new, school librarians have used the idea behind FRBR for years to organize materials that have "relationships" (a condition or fact of being connected or associated). This article provides an overview of FRBR and its vocabulary. FRBR's impact on cataloging and the reasons why libraries should use this model are discussed. (Contains 1 figure.)
