A Review of “Metadata for Digital Resources: Implementation, Systems Design and Interoperability”

[para. 1]: "A thoughtfully planned metadata strategy is critical to the success of digital projects in cultural heritage institutions of all types. Moreover, as we invest in metadata for our digital resources, we should do so with an eye for disseminating metadata as widely as possible. While a large number of metadata books have been published over the past dozen years, this book stands out for both its practical approach behind metadata creation and maintenance as well as its focus on metadata use and re-use. Metadata for Digital Resources is part of the prolific Chandos Information Professional Series, which contains over two hundred titles. The series, edited by Ruth Rikowski, has the goal of providing “easy-to-read and (most importantly) practical coverage of topics that are of interest to librarians and other information professionals.” This book delivers on that intention."
