Description

Organising Knowledge in a Global Society updates the successful first edition, which has been widely used as an introduction to the field of information organisation, both in Australia and overseas.

The work reflects current practice and trends, paying particular attention to how libraries and other information services provide intellectual access to digital information resources through metadata.

In this revision, the various information organisation components of the Web 2.0 phenomenon are discussed, including social tagging and folksonomies.

The new edition also covers the latest developments in metadata standards, such as Resource Description and Access, and information retrieval systems such as the increasing support for faceted navigation.

Examples and case studies have been updated throughout.
