If that key matches an existing set, add this record to the set. If not, construct additional name/title keys based on other names and titles in the record. Check each of those keys in succession. If a match is found with an existing set, add this to that set. If no matches are found, create a new set based on the original key.     Pioneers and Approaches Manifestations 1784 1555 1375 1141 1110 829 767 696 Author/Title shakespeare, william\1564 1616/hamlet shakespeare, william\1564 1616/works shakespeare, william\1564 1616/macbeth shakespeare, william\1564 1616/romeo and juliet shakespeare, william\1564 1616/merchant of venice shakespeare, william\1564 1616/midsummer nights dream shakespeare, william\1564 1616/plays shakespeare, william\1564 1616/sonnets HELIN FRBR Project Goals of the Project:  Obtain knowledge and experience in FRBRizing existing library catalog Test the feasibility of record conversion based on MARC elements Identify issues hindering the conversion   HELIN FRBR Project Objectives of the Project:  Create  Build a stand-alone FRBRized Catalog. a user search interface.  Collect user feedback to determine the pros and cons of the FRBR structure. HELIN FRBR Project Task 1: • Assemble bibliographic records having Shakespeare, William, |d 1564-1616 in 100 field. • Assemble bibliographic records having Shakespeare, William, |d 1564-1616 in 700 field. • Export the records to an Access database Task 2: Identify FRBR Entity Levels Work The Idea of Shakespeare Expression Original Text Translations Critical Editions.
