New book: Metadata for digital resources

Jenn Riley's new book that she co-authored with Muriel Foulonneau is now available in both hardcover and paperback. (I have dropped it into my husband's Amazon shopping cart!)

Metadata for Digital Resources is intended to be a practical handbook for those embarking on digitization projects or implementing a metadata program in a cultural heritage institution. It goes beyond introductory explanations of various metadata standards to cover issues of their practical implementation and in-depth discussion of the role of metadata in the larger information environment. We believe this book will be useful for those preparing to begin their first project involving non-MARC metadata, and for those looking to take the next step from one-off metadata projects to a more systematic and strategic approach.
