Hello All,
I'm hoping that Donald Mackay doesn't mind me forwarding his message! If
anyone has read this I would be interested in hearing what it is like.

Metadata Applications and Management
International Yearbook of Library and Information Management 2003-2004
Dr G E Gorman, general editor
Dr Daniel G. Dorner, associate editor
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: Perspectives on Metadata; Metadata
in the Humanities; Metadata in Government; Metadata in Education; Metadata
and Bibliographic Organizations; and Metadata and Other Applications.
