Technical Services Quarterly

The repeated evocations of a 'brave new world' in the titles of the articles may seem alarming, but the authors have more of Shakespeare’s Miranda’s wonder than Huxley’s irony; the pieces in this collection portray twenty-first century technical services as a land of opportunity rather than a dystopia.... Those interested in the evolution of metadata creation and creators should find this book useful.
