Reviews for Cataloging the Web
The papers will be inspirational for their focused interrogations of the appropriateness of traditional methods in conjunction with the benefits of newer standards and innovative softwares...will be of practical value to all working in this exciting area.
Library and Information Update
The papers, by an impressive array of key players, cover both background issues and descriptions of real-world applications of metadata in an alphabet soup of projects.
Portals
A comprehensive overview of current thoughts and theories of Web control via metadata. ...Cataloging the Web, unlike other works, compiles essays on varying forms of metadata and it will no doubt be useful as a background source on particular projects, methods, and schemas.
Kristi L. Palmer
Journal Of Internet Cataloging
This is essential reading for those who wish to become metadata librarians and a noteworthy reference for others. Curious librarians can use this as an instructional work to help understand the nomenclature and new acronyms. I recommend this work to archivists, library managers, library students, catalogers, Web designers, and computer experts.
Olac Newsletter
This book would be a worthwhile purchase for catalogers that are, or will be, involved in the cataloging of Internet resources. Administrators will also find much of the book very useful.
