Certain&nbsp;library materials (especially audio-visual formats) pose&nbsp;notable challenges to search and retrieval; the first&nbsp;benefits of a FRBRized system would be felt in music&nbsp;libraries, but research already has proven its advantages&nbsp;for fine arts, theology, and literature—the bulk of the&nbsp;non-science, technology, and mathematics collections.&nbsp;This report will summarize the benefits of FRBR to nextgeneration library catalogs and OPACs, and will review&nbsp;the handful of ILS and catalog systems currently operating with its theoretical structure.</p> ER -
