The editors seek original scholarship on the metadata practices including
the organization, representation, and/or description of information objects
within the library, archive, and museum (LAM) environments. The frame of
inquiry includes all types of libraries, archives, museums, and other
information settings. Special consideration will be given to case studies
that highlight successes, challenges, best practices, and lessons learned.

Chapter topics and case studies of interest include (but are not limited
to):

-    The influence of technological developments on the way in which your
institution organizes, describes and represents information objects
-    The ways in which your institution’s catalog/finding aid/inventory
practices have or have not changed in response to changes in technology
-    The standards and data content used within your institution that
govern the way in which your institution organizes, describes, and
represents information objects
-    The ways in which your institution’s internal structure has influenced
the organization, representation, and description of information objects
-    The ways in which different/new media types have influenced your
institution’s metadata practices (i.e. still images, moving images, PDFs,
gaming systems, etc.)
-    The ways in which financial constraints have influenced cataloging
practices at your institution
-    The changing requirements for professional qualifications and skill
sets at your institution for the organization, representation, and
description of information objects
-    Case studies of shared cataloging or other collaborative, consortial
endeavors within the shared online cataloging environment (a.k.a. the Web),
such as social networking
-    Challenges, obstacles, and opportunities encountered at your
institution during the migration of cataloging (organizing, describing, and
representing information) from the analog to the digital environment
-    Current or ongoing developments/projects concerning information
representation and retrieval of objects within the Web 3.0 environment
Please direct submissions and inquires to Caroline Fuchs, Associate
Professor at St. John’s University Libraries, New York (fuchs at stjohns.edu)
and Christine Angel, Assistant Professor, Division of Library and
Information Science at St. John’s University, New York (angelc at stjohns.edu).
