Researchers at Kent State’s School of Library and Information Science will examine on-line library catalogs to see whether they provide users what they need. Specifically, this project will examine catalogs based on the model developed by the International Federation of Library Association, Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR). The results will allow the team to create a new FRBR-based system that will improve users’ ability to find, identify, select, and obtain access to information they need.
