Information and Society by Michael Keeble BucklandMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
The title is expansive, but I found the text to be modest in its target. I was expecting a kind of primer on metadata, with broad implications. Instead, I found this more tied to how to use metadata to help people find related documents. I had also expected to read about technical innovation in metadata or tagging, but this didn’t go there. I work in software sales for tools that help categorize and find documents and looked to this book to provide some concepts that I could use to explain our software features, but this didn't really meet this need. OK as a guide for librarians and interesting for index creators, but quite academic.
