[Web4lib] Call for articles: Library Hi Tech special issue

[Brad Eden]

Please excuse any duplication.  Please forward to other interested 
colleagues and listservs.

This is a call for articles for a special issue of _Library Hi Tech_, 
whose focus will be on information organization futures.  The editor of 
this special issue is looking for innovative and interesting ways that 
libraries are using the structured metadata in their OPACs, to provide 
new and exciting ways to interact and use library collections and 
services for their users.  Opinion pieces on this topic are welcome, as 
well as uses of new technologies and user features such as 2D and 3D 
information visualization, social tagging/software, integration with 
other structured metadata sources, or search interfaces that combine 
both analog and electronic resources in unique ways, are of interest to 
the editor.  Software prototypes or projects which help users to 
manipulate data, and/or personalize data, are also welcome.

If you are interested in submitting an article, please send a short 
proposal, discussing the topic and a suggested title, to the email below 
by March 30, 2007.  Draft articles are due to the editor by October 1, 
2007.  Inquiries and questions are also welcome.
