Recensioner i media

'I felt as if each topic had been covered by a fair and balanced approach, to build up a detailed overall snapshot of metadata practices as they stand today, with sufficient context of the past and indications of possible future directions for the sector to help me gain a better grasp of the state of play of the profession in which I work…I would recommend this book to anyone working in a role that incorporates information organisation and resource description (I think a good case could be made for requesting funds for a copy in many workplaces for the purposes of professional development) and having at least a quick glance through it, especially if you are new to the profession, training, or recently qualified.'
