The International Yearbook of Library and Information Management (IYLIM) is a thematic, refereed annual publication in the field of library science and information management worldwide. Each volume contains substantive chapters covering current issues, emerging debates and trends, and models of best practice and likely future developments, contributed by an internationally respected panel of researchers, practitioners and academics. The theme for 2003-2004, 'metadata applications and management', has been chosen in view of the significant impact that metadata is having on the management of electronic information resources, on resource description and discovery, and on access to data in specific communities, such as libraries, museums and archives. The book is divided into six parts covering the key applications and fields to which current metadata issues relate: Perspectives on Metadata; Metadata in the Humanities; Metadata in Government; Metadata in Education; Metadata and Bibliographic Organization; and Metadata and Other Applications.
