FRBR citation

This is my citation for the FRBR Blog. this post will be very similar to the last one on the FRBR blog, but condensed and with the proper citation.

William Denton, 2005, The FRBR Blog, viewed 5th July 2010, < http://www.frbr.org/ >

Despite this blogs simple layout it is a pain to navigate around, if only because there is so much of it. The normally useful navigation bar on the left hand side has been packed with so much information, as well as the standard blog stuff, that it takes a while find something unless you already know exactly where it is. With that said, the information on the navigation bar is really quite useful, offering links to web documents, books and other sites all to help with the understanding of FRBR. The content of the blog itself is just as impenetrable as FRBR, at least to someone like myself who is only just beginning to learn about all of this, as it talks about manifestations and entities like they were old-hat; which, considering that FRBR has been around since 1998 and probably longer, to some it is.

The author and webmaster of the blog is William Denton, who is the web Librarian at York University. His entry in the Librarian's profile section of York University's site has a link to his personal blog, which in turn has a link to the FRBR blog. Unfortunately I couldn't find a link to the FRBR blog from the York University site, which would have made it's authority so much stronger. He seems to be quite knowledgeable and on top of the latest news concerning changes to cataloguing and has had a paper concerning that very topic published online by Libraries Unlimited. I think this site would be most useful for someone who already knows something or even a lot about FRBR and upcoming changes to cataloguing but due to the wealth of information and links links to information and other informative sites this site stands strong as a resource for anyone interested in the topic.
