Abstract: BIBFRAME is the New Bibliographic Framework Initiative created by the Library of Congress to investigate and define the future of bibliographic description on the web. It is meant to be a replacement for MARC and to provide a model for describing and connecting bibliographic data. This session will introduce you to BIBFRAME and discuss some of the experimentation going on in libraries. It will also reflect on the training provided by Zepheira as part of its Libhub Initiative from public library and academic library perspectives.
