New Issue of NISO’s Information Standards Quarterly Looks at Evolution of Bibliographic Data Exchange

The new issue (Vol 25, No. 4; Winter 2013) of Information Standards Quarterly (ISQ) became available online earlier today.
A PDF version of the complete issue is also available.
Ted Fons, Executive Director, Data Services and WorldCat Quality Management at OCLC, is the guest content editor of this issue.
He says:

The success of the web as a research tool has dramatically changed the library’s role in the exposure of library catalogs.…The rise of new metadata initiatives reflects the need to respond to this change and to increase our effectiveness in the exchange and management of library metadata.
It is my hope that this set of thoughtful essays provides you with some insight into the landscape of new metadata initiatives and is a useful continuation of the dialog on how we can improve data exchange.
