Web@25: What's Next?
by Barbie E. Keiser
For those who have grown up with the World Wide Web (WWW), the response to its 25th birthday celebrations has been, "So what?" There is now a generation who does not remember a world without the web: It's just there, always on, and a part of their lives. So many of the articles being written about the web at 25 have totally missed the mark when it comes to impact of the WWW. It's not what the web has allowed us to do faster and cheaper, or how many people are now "online"; it's about how the web has totally transformed our society and how we interact with others in the world, both near and far.

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.
