meeting.
Date:Friday, January 20, 2012
Time: 10:30 a.m.--12 p.m.
Place:Dallas Convention Center D168
There is more to Functional Requirements than just FRBR. Come join us to
learn more about FRAD and the other FR models from our very
knowledgeable presenters, Qiang Jin and Shawne Miksa.
First Qiang Jin will present: Demystifying FRAD: Functional
Requirements for Authority Data.
Qiang Jin is Senior Coordinating Cataloger and NACO Coordinator,
Associate Professor of Library Administration at the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library. Her presentation will provide a
basic explanation of the Functional Requirements for Authority Data
(FRAD): A Conceptual Model. It will illustrate the Conceptual Model for
Authority Data with specific examples, and explain the FRAD entities,
attributes of those entities and relationships between those entities
with many specific examples so that attendees will be able to understand
the FRAD model. It will include some brief RDA authority records
exemplifying the major FRAD relationships.
Next we will hear from Dr. Shawne Miksa present on the FR models user
tasks.
Dr. Miksa is an Associate Professor in the Department of Library and
Information Sciences and Acting Associate Director of the
Interdisciplinary Information Science PhD Program in the College of
Information (COI), University of North Texas. In her presentation, Dr.
Miksa will list and define the twelve user tasks from all three FR
Models (FRBR, FRAD, FRSAD) and present her conception of corresponding
tasks that an information organizer (cataloger, metadata specialist,
etc.) performs to support the user tasks. Most of these tasks are not
new to the practice, and Dr. Miksa will show how they can be recast to
correspond with the functionality models.
