The Organization of Information
Organizing information is at the heart of the information professions, and the fifth edition of The Organization of Information is a key resource for anyone seeking up-to-date guidance. For millennia, information organization has been central to the functioning of libraries and other information institutions. The fifth edition of The Organization of Information provides a timely, detailed introduction to organizing in a variety of information contexts, including library cataloging, archival description, indexing, museum registration, metadata creation for digital collections, organizing on the web, linked data, and the development of the Semantic Web. Examining how and why information professionals organize information in contemporary libraries, archives, museums, and in a variety of online settings, expert Daniel N. Joudrey addresses the types of retrieval tools used throughout information organizations, the functionality of information systems, and the role and effect of technology on information organization. A discussion of encoding follows, explaining the basics of the MARC format, several XML schemas, and the developing BIBFRAME standard. A section on the principles and functionality of metadata covers metadata types, metadata characteristics, and tools used to manage metadata projects. A timely new chapter on conceptual models and frameworks articulates the visions behind the Library Reference Model (LRM), Records-in-Contexts (RiC), and the Semantic Web, including a discussion of RDF as its underlying structural model. Finally, the latter portion of the book describes practices related to the creation of descriptive metadata. Providing a thorough overview of the field's major issues, challenges, and standards, The Organization of Information is an essential resource for students in library and information science programs as well as for established professionals who want to refresh their knowledge of the latest developments in the field.

Literature and Translation in the Licensing Realm
This study examines how literature and its interlingual circulation changed under the conditions of international legal agreements. Until the 19th century, translation into other languages was dominated by the so-called target culture and took place independently of the source culture (freedom of translation). By contrast, modern authors can influence the international distribution of their works through copyright law. Not only has an extensive licensing system emerged - with agencies, publishers and scouts specializing in the interlingual dissemination of literature - the author's awareness of writing books for countries other than their own has also increased. The development of transnational authorship is traced through the history of German literature since the 19th century and the interaction of writers with translators, publishers and agencies.
Countervocalities
The Mediterranean island of Corsica, a French territory, experiences mobility in the form of locals' mass exodus to the Continent, the arrival of immigrants at rates similar to Paris, and a booming tourist industry with millions of visitors each year. What, then, are the multilingual dynamics on the island--languages emerging from above (French), a middle ground (Corsican), and sideways (languages of immigrants and tourists)? What multilingual subjectivities are articulated? Mendes analyzes competing conceptualizations of linguistic multiplicity, what he calls countervocalities, in which languages are constantly rearranging in variously imagined hierarchies.Countervocalities explores different dimensions of institutional multilingualism, namely those related to policies, practices, and ideologies within and extending from education settings. The chapters address reclamation, imposition, and erasure of different languages on Corsica, moving from inside the school, to artefacts from the schoolscape, to discourses about language teaching. The study fruitfully analyzes an array of interactional and artefactual data types. This productive alternation offers a cross-section of attitudes toward and representations of multilingual dynamics while foregrounding the role of mobility and language in understandings of place and what counts as local.
The Artisan Author
Less rush. More freedom. A way to love writing again. If modern indie publishing feels like a high-stress race to the bottom, the good news is there's another way.Most authors start writing for the love of it, but in recent years the reality of "writing for a living" has soured. Now, for a lot of us, it no longer looks fun - or creatively fulfilling - at all. You have to obey genres exactly or your books won't sell. If you step outside your lane and try something new, the kinds of readers most authors court will never buy it. And then there's the SPEED of it all: The rules of "Rapid Release" say you have to publish a book every month - at least - or you'll never survive. Forget about taking a vacation. Time off will let the algorithms forget you. Even successful authors often find themselves in "golden handcuffs" selling a lot of books, but only in a series they now have to write forever. And all that to earn around a dollar per book ... sold to readers who are far more loyal to Kindle Unlimited than to you. Where's the joy? Where's the delight that got you into storytelling in the first place? Remember when writing felt like a creative playground instead of a grind? What if, instead of succumbing to that grind, you could find a way to be creative and free ... without having to settle for poverty?In The Artisan Author, industry veteran Johnny B. Truant offers an alternative to Rapid Release: a new way to succeed as an author without sacrificing your freedom, worrying about competition or AI, or fearing you'll lose everything when the winds - or the algorithms - inevitably change.The way of the Artisan Author is the opposite of Rapid Release. Instead of rushing to churn out the same-old same-old, Artisans follow their muse and write whatever they want. Instead of stressing out, Artisans take their time, putting as much care and beauty into their work as they desire. It's a way to build a substantial, sustainable, bulletproof income based on Kevin Kelly's idea of "1000 True Fans" readers who are loyal to you, not any platform. True Fans are all you need to earn as much as you want as an author. They're people with whom you build genuine human connections ... and who therefore love you enough to spend far more than ordinary readers will ever spend.Johnny B. Truant has been a thought leader in the independent publishing community for over a decade, hosting the original Self Publishing Podcast, holding the Smarter Artist Summit conference, and co-authoring the industry bible Write. Publish. Repeat. In The Artisan Author, Johnny presents an art-first, quality-over-quantity alternative to Rapid Release for writers who thought sacrificing creative joy was the only way to succeed. It's not, though. It's wonderful over here on the artfully profitable side of writing. Join us, will you?
The Flashback Writer
Do your characters keep slipping into the past, even when the plot's begging them to stay in the present?

Why does this backstory feel important but read like a filler episode?You'll learn how to spot the right moments to dive into the past-and how to come back stronger. Whether you're writing literary fiction, genre-bending fantasy, or a character-driven thriller, this book will help you use flashbacks with precision, power, and purpose.Because your story deserves more than a clunky info-dump and a "ten years earlier" title card.
Beyond the Books
'Libraries are a community's secret weapon in the war against ignorance and isolation. They are also sites of pleasure and entertainment, and of rich cultural experience, knowledge transfer and social connection.'This exciting and courageous book dares to look beyond economic impact to examine how the State Library of South Australia is valued by individuals and the community. Significantly, it demonstrates the real value of our nation's libraries, museums, archives and galleries, and what we stand to lose when we don't look after them.This book reveals the vital role libraries and other cultural institutions play in our communities, promoting our civic 'common ground' and preserving our way of life. Bolstered by insights from across the Australian cultural sector, this book addresses what cultural value means to the public today - and what they see as the best return on government spending.
Art, Science, Invention
Charles Willson Peale was the owner of the nation's first successful natural history museum. The Peale-Sellers Family Collection, held at the Amer. Philosophical Soc. (APS) Library, is the world's largest archival collection related to the Peales. Two recent APS Museum exhibitions included selected items from the collection. The APS conservation staff ensured that the items were stable enough to display for months, and conservators repaired or stabilized books and manuscripts that needed treatment. This book examines the materials Peale and his family have left us, considers their preservation challenges, and discusses the evolution of conservation care for archival collections. It includes case studies of conservation treatment for six historic Peale-related artifacts. Illus.

Librarians as Researchers
This book is designed to empower librarians to develop their research skills and embrace their identities as scholars. Many librarians, particularly those in academic libraries, are expected to engage in research and scholarly output. However, unlike disciplinary faculty, most librarians have not completed a PhD program, and many have never designed or participated in original research upon embarking on their career. This edited volume provides inspiration and support for academic librarians looking to develop or refresh their research skills and develop their scholarly identities. The focus of this book is toward empowering librarians as researchers, rather than librarians supporting student or faculty research. This book provides a venue for librarians to share their knowledge on different aspects of research as well as build community for other librarians to actualize their own identities as researchers. The existing literature and research in the realm of librarian identity development often touches on librarian identities in the face of emerging technologies and new library types, or how librarians can support research at their institutions. However, there is a gap in the literature around librarians developing their own identities as researchers. Librarians have a unique role in the scholarly community; we often sacrifice our own research interests so that we can provide support and instruction to others, whether it be faculty, students, or the public. But the library world holds immense opportunity for developing and executing original research. Additionally, conducting research is beneficial to librarians' individual practice as well as the library community as a whole. This edited volume will provide guidance as well as actionable methods for librarians to develop foundational research philosophies, create communities of practice, and hone practical skills in a wide range of research areas.

Literature and Translation in the Licensing Realm
Following the historical analysis that focused on the actors and the institutions of book culture in the first volume, volume two discusses writing strategies in the global licensing realm, as well as revealing the form, character, and structure of multilateral literature.
