cSubs: Bringing Content and People Together
by Amber Boedigheimer
Client and vendor engagements are all about creating connections, and technology makes it easier for people to piece together ideas and identify shared goals. As technology evolves, vendors find themselves collaborating rather than competing with each other in order to advance their creations and form stronger relationships. Collaborative vendor-client relationships are often based on how the parties interact with each other and what they believe they can accomplish together.

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.
