Chapters are devoted to the organization and development of recorded information, retrieval tools, encoding standards, subject analysis, systems for vocabulary control and categorization, and arrangement and display. This edition offers readers a new chapter on metadata and new sections treating digital libraries, information architecture, knowledge management, pathfinders, search engines, and bibliographic classifications and taxonomies, among other topics. Chapters have been updated, and many have been revised and expanded. The chapter about systems and system designs is a prime example, having been rewritten to reflect changes within the field and now featured more prominently in the book. These changes yield an extremely well-designed, structured, and articulated work, noteworthy for its clarity and usability. A fine contribution to the field of library and information science. RBB
