Creating a streaming video collection for your library

Abstract

digital resources. The library disciplines of cataloguing, classification, indexing and thesaurus construction translate across as metadata, taxonomy and ontology. These topics are explained in user-friendly fashion. User-centred design and needs analysis are discussed. Collaborative classification is touched on. I would have liked to see these concepts illustrated with practical examples in this chapter, which is mostly theoretical in nature. Overall this work is entirely suitable for library and information students and also experienced classifiers wishing to expand their knowledge. Reading this book will do much to help librarians become more generally comfortable with the concepts of classification and less inclined to view it with distaste.
