Abstract
In the introduction to this edited volume, we outlined topical areas which we considered characteristic of key trends and fresh perspectives in a rapidly evolving landscape of information organization in the digital environment. Broadly speaking, we chose to situate the 11 chapters within three sections, labeled as: (1) Semantic Web, Linked Data, and RDA; (2) Web 2.0 Technologies and Information Organization; and (3) Library Catalogs: Toward an Interactive Network of Communication. Following a brief summary of each chapter, we concluded with a hope that the volume would stimulate ‘‘new avenues of research and practice,’’ and also contribute ‘‘to the development of a new paradigm in information organization.’’ Lest anything be left to chance, we propose in this final chapter to highlight particular aspects addressed across the various chapters that evoke, in our opinion, opportunities for further reflection, a call to action, or a notable future shift in perspectives around information organization. We conclude with suggestions of what the chapters, collectively, might augur regarding the future direction of information organization. [1st paragraph]
