Academic publisher Taylor & Francis, UK, has announced that the first issue of the new Journal of Library Metadata is off-press. The new journal surveys the growing role of metadata librarians in academic libraries, institutional repositories, and open access resources.
The Journal of Library Metadata seeks to provide an exclusive forum for the latest research, innovations, news, and expert views about all aspects of metadata applications in libraries and about the role of metadata in information retrieval. It comprehensively discusses practical, applicable information that libraries can effectively use in their own information discovery environments.
The journal is projected as an essential reading for metadata librarians, catalogue librarians, librarians working on institutional repositories or digital libraries, information scientists, researchers in library science and organisation of information, researchers in and designers of information retrieval systems, preservation librarians who work with preservation metadata, and researchers in and developers of information standards.
