Halloween Information Sources: They're Baaaaack!
by Anthony Aycock
Samhain. All Saints' Eve. All Hallows' Eve. Halloween. These are names by which the upcoming holiday is known. You know the one I mean. The Headless Horseman. The Sanderson sisters. Jack Skellington. Michael Myers. October 31 belongs to them.

Last year, I wrote "A Ghoul-ection of Halloween Information Sources," which gathered the internet's best podcasts, histories, government resources, and more on the subject of scaredom. But what if you're not merely studying this night of fright? What if you're—gulp—trying to survive it?

Here are a few sites that will ensure you are no Hallo-weenie.

The Accidental Taxonomist, 3rd edition
The Accidental Taxonomist, 3rd edition
by Heather Hedden
Foreword by Stephanie Lemieux
The Accidental Taxonomist is the most comprehensive guide available to the art and science of building information taxonomies. Heather Hedden—a leading taxonomy expert and instructor—walks readers through the process, displaying her trademark ability to present highly technical information in straightforward, comprehensive English.

In this fully revised third edition, Hedden adds an entirely new chapter on ontologies, emphasizes the SKOS model of concepts over the traditional thesaurus model of terms, and provides new insights into taxonomy development techniques. She presents fresh survey data; new screenshots and examples; and updated information on software, career opportunities, and resources for taxonomists.
