Seeking Book Contributors: Implementing Federated Searching Tools
A colleague of mine and I are writing a book entitled "Federated Search: A Librarian's Guide". We are looking for librarians interested in contributing their experience with a Federated Search implementation to the book. The book will will be a guide on selecting and implementing a federated search tool. Additionally, it will summarize our survey of both library practitioners and the federated search vendors to get a complete picture of what the profession is looking for and what the current / forthcoming options are. The aim is to illuminate all of the decisions necessary in order to alleviate the pitfalls of the process.
Quick turnaround time needed.
Please contact me (kewllibrarian01@gmail.com) asap!
Thanks,
Tine Walczyk

Previously titled the Journal of Internet Cataloging, after a change in title and editorship, JLM will now focus on metadata, an exciting, timely subject of importance to all libraries. The journal will publish three categories of articles: standard, peer-reviewed articles; shorter, scholarly, non-peer reviewed articles; and short viewpoint articles.
These articles will cover all aspects of metadata applications in libraries, including:
-Application profiles
-Best practices
-Controlled vocabularies
-Crosswalking of metadata and interoperability
-Digital libraries and metadata
-Display of search results
-Federated repositories
-Federated searching
-Folksonomies
-Individual metadata schemes
-Institutional repository metadata
-Metadata content standards
-Metadata harvesting
-Ontologies
-Preservation metadata
-Resource Description Framework
-Resource discovery and metadata
-Search engines and metadata
-SKOS
-Stochastic vs. deterministic searching
-Tagging and tag clouds
-Topic maps
-Visual image and moving image metadata
Categories of Articles
Please consider writing and submitting an article that falls into one of the following three categories:
• Peer-reviewed articles (original research, scholarly manuscripts), which should be 10-50 typed pages, double-spaced.
• Short, scholarly, non-peer-reviewed articles, often practical in nature (for example, describing a particular library metadata implementation). These should range from 500-2,000 words, with limited citations to other resources.
• Upbeat Viewpoint articles giving the author’s opinion on a timely topic related to library metadata applications. These should range from 500-2,000 words and may or may not contain citations. Focus should be on improvements or solutions instead of negative aspects of an existing system, standard, or service.
