This volume is part of the Chandos Information Professional Series, designed to provide easy-to-read and practical coverage of subjects that are of interest to librarians. The book is written for newer librarians and librarians transferred to technical services, but it is meant to be useful to anyone working with e-books and the metadata associated with them. The approach of the book is to guide the reader through the various definitions, concepts, and approaches related to metadata management so that they can be applied in the reader’s library. This is not a how-to guide on managing e-books, but rather a guide to help the reader examine the metadata and e-book environment at their own library and create their own management plan using the principles, practices, guidelines, and standards presented in the book.
