ProQuest Enhancements: Users First
by Corilee Christou
It's been 7 years since ProQuest acquired Dialog from Thomson Reuters. At that time, librarians worldwide were either exhilarated or dismayed. Dialog had long been the online search service of choice for most librarians, and LexisNexis, ProQuest, and others were lagging behind. With the widespread use of Google and other robust search engines, the time had come for Dialog's complete overhaul. Several enhancements, integrations, and user feedback sessions later, ProQuest has done an admirable job of creating a new, relevant product.

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.
