Journal of Library Metadata

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Library Metadata, a peer-reviewed journal, marks the growing importance of metadata in libraries and other institutions.

As libraries collect, produce, distribute and publish more information than ever before, the metadata that describes these resources becomes more critical for digital resource management and discovery.

The journal is a forum for the latest research, innovations, news, and expert views about all aspects of metadata applications and about the role of metadata in information retrieval.

The focus is on practical, applicable information that libraries and other institutions can effectively use in their own information discovery environments.

The journal features original scholarly research, new developments in the field, and reviews of relevant material.

Subjects covered include, but are not limited, to application profiles; best practices; controlled vocabularies; cross walking of metadata and interoperability; digital libraries and metadata; federated repositories and searching; folksonomies, individual metadata schemes; institutional repository metadata; metadata content standards; resource description framework; SKOS; topic maps; and more.
