CFP: Information Organization Futures (Special Issue of Library Hi Tech)
This is a call for articles for a special issue of Library Hi Tech, whose focus will be on information organization futures. The editor of this special issue is looking for innovative and interesting ways that libraries are using the structured metadata in their OPACs, to provide new and exciting ways to interact and use library collections and services for their users. Opinion pieces on this topic are welcome, as well as uses of new technologies and user features such as 2D and 3D information visualization, social tagging/software, integration with other structured metadata sources, or search interfaces that combine both analog and electronic resources in unique ways, are of interest to the editor. Software prototypes or projects which help users to
manipulate data, and/or personalize data, are also welcome.
If you are interested in submitting an article, please send a short proposal, discussing the topic and a suggested title, to the email below by March 30, 2007. Draft articles are due to the editor by October 1, 2007. Inquiries and questions are also welcome.
