REVIEWS
"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

Topics range from carefully considered viewpoints to possible standards to actual how-to's.
