A comprehensive overview of current thoughts and theories of Web control via metadata.
— JOURNAL OF INTERLIBRARY LOAN, DOCUMENT DELIVERY, & ELECTRONIC RESERVE
...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.
