Organizing Information
From the shelf to the web
G G Chowdhury and Sudatta Chowdhury
Tomorrow's LIS professionals will have to be conversant with all the tools
and techniques for organizing information in different domains - from the
traditional library shelf to full-scale digital libraries. This core text
covers the organization of the entire spectrum of information, and the
principles, tools and techniques needed to do this effectively.
The most up-to-date textbook yet available on this subject, this
comprehensive book covers everything from traditional cataloguing and
classification through to metadata, information architecture and the
semantic web. Written by experienced academics in the area, who have
authored several other successful textbooks, this book provides both an
overview of the whole field of information organization and an easy-to-
understand introduction to each of the individual topics, which can be
followed up with further study by following the references at the end of
each chapter.

How to Use Web 2.0 in Your Library
Phil Bradley
The Web 2.0 and social software explosion has the capability to transform
the online profile of libraries and help reach out to tech-savvy young
users to whom the library may be invisible. Libraries can now easily
collaborate and create online communities, as well as explore new ways in
which to communicate with, educate and attract new users - and also to
market themselves.
This new book from acclaimed author Phil Bradley takes a clear and
practical approach as it explains exactly how to use the different types
of Web 2.0 technologies, and, using examples, shows how libraries can get
the most out of them.
May 2007; 224pp; paperback; 978-1-85604-607-7; £39.95 (£31.96 to CILIP
