Description
The International Yearbook of Library and Information Management (IYLIM) is a thematic, refereed annual publication in the field of library science and information management worldwide. Each volume contains substantive chapters covering current issues, emerging debates and trends, and models of best practice and likely future developments, contributed by an internationally respected panel of researchers, practitioners and academics. The theme for 2003-4, 'metadata applications and management', has been chosen in view of the significant impact that metadata is having on the management of electronic information resources, on resource description and discovery, and on access to data in specific communities, such as libraries, museums and archives. The book is divided into six parts covering the key applications and fields to which current metadata issues relate: Part One: Perspectives on Metadata; Part Two: Metadata in the Humanities; Part Three: Metadata in Government; Part Four: Metadata in Education; Part Five: Metadata and Bibliographic Organizations; and Part: Metadata and Other Applications. Areas covered within these themes include: Metadata - what it means for memory institutions, Metadata - where are we going?, Music metadata, Metadata and the arts - the art of metadata, Metadata and taxonomy integration in government portals, Metadata and the UK archives network, Metadata and the education sector, Educational metadata in transition, The metadata-bibliographic organization nexus, Cataloguing and metadata education, Developments in cataloguing and metadata, Preservation metadata, Metadata and spatial data, International initiatives in the implementation of metadata standards, Metadata applications in developing countries. The International Yearbook is essential reading for information professionals wishing to keep up-to-date with recent developments in library science and information management on a global basis.
