Know & Go: Transitioning to BIBFRAME: Two Views of the Future

 Registration is closed for this event
Although BIBFRAME is still far from replacing MARC as the standard for expressing library bibliographic data, a paper, "BIBFLOW: A Roadmap for Library Linked Data Transition," outlines a transition from MARC 21 to BIBFRAME.

This Know & Go will outline these two views of the future for the transition to BIBFRAME.
