Front Cover; Managing eBook Metadata in Academic Libraries: Taming the Tiger; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; List of Figures and Tables; About the author; Introduction; Chapter 1: Understanding eBooks, metadata, and managing metadata; 1.1 What is metadata?; 1.2 What are eBooks?; 1.3 What does it mean to manage eBook metadata?; 1.4 Assumptions about metadata; 1.4.1 Libraries collect and record metadata; 1.4.2 The quality and functionality of metadata recorded by libraries is uneven; 1.4.3 A large, complex collection requires well-managed metadata.

Managing ebook Metadata in Academic Libraries: Taming the Tiger tackles the topic of ebooks in academic libraries, a trend that has been welcomed by students, faculty, researchers, and library staff. However, at the same time, the reality of acquiring ebooks, making them discoverable, and managing them presents library staff with many new challenges. Traditional methods of cataloging and managing library resources are no longer relevant where the purchasing of ebooks in packages and demand driven acquisitions are the predominant models for acquiring new content. Most academic libraries have a complex metadata environment wherein multiple systems draw upon the same metadata for different purposes. This complexity makes the need for standards-based interoperable metadata more important than ever. In addition to complexity, the nature of the metadata environment itself typically varies slightly from library to library making it difficult to recommend a single set of practices and procedures which would be relevant to, and effective in, all academic libraries. Considering all of these factors together, it is not surprising when academic libraries find it difficult to create and manage the metadata for their ebook collections. This book is written as a guide for metadata librarians, other technical services librarians, and ancillary library staff who manage ebook collections to help them understand the requirements for ebook metadata in their specific library context, to create a vision for ebook metadata management, and to develop a plan which addresses the relevant issues in metadata management at all stages of the lifecycle of ebooks in academic libraries from selection, to deselection or preservation.
