<DIV>New technologies will underpin the future generation of library catalogs. In order to maintain their role providing information, serving users, and fulfilling their mission as cultural heritage and memory institutions, libraries must take a technological leap. Library bibliographic standards, models, and services, must be transformed to those of the Semantic Web. This book explores the technologies that will power the future generation of library catalogs, and argues for the necessity of such a leap. Five chapters cover: Bibliographic information organization; Semantic Web and open linked data; Publishing and maintaining bibliographic data as linked data; Using bibliographic data as linked data; and how we are part of the linked data environment.</div>
