The Problems With Searching the Deep Web
by Nancy K. Herther
For more than 20 years, researchers have worked to conceptualize methods for making web searching more comprehensive--going beyond the surface sites that are easily accessed by today's search engines to truly create a system of universal access to the world's knowledge. The task is proving to be far more complicated than computer scientists had thought. "The existing approaches," notes one recent analysis, "lack [the ability] to efficiently locate the deep web which is hidden behind the surface web."

Net Neutrality Rollback: A Gift to ISPs?
Steven Salzberg writes in Forbes that Pai's Net Neutrality elimination plan "is a bigger gift to Verizon than anything he's ever done before."
Net Neutrality as a Market, Not Government, Regulation
The Washington Examiner's Opinion section has an article about Net Neutrality that states the following: "Net neutrality's dubious value is made obvious by the misleading way Democrats and many news outlets reported the decision.

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.
