As such it is a real contribution to our understanding. * TechKNOW *Taylor and her contributors cover FRBR and introduce the reader to FRAD as well. . . . All chapters conclude with current and useful references to further reading and more information. * Booklist *Arlene Taylor and her compadres dont even try to teach you how to construct a hierarchical record.
