New books for knowledge base publishers

July, 2003

by Jean Graef

This article discusses five recent books of interest to Knowledge Base Publishers on such topics as how to:

• add value to corporate intellectual assets;
• make Web sites easier to use;
• reduce costs and time delays associated with Internet publishing;
• organize and integrate information from multiple applications;
• improve performance and add value to search engines.

What makes these titles interesting is that they cover many of the same issues from five different perspectives:

1. corporate and project management (Unlocking Knowledge Assets by Conway and Sligar)
2. libraries and information services (Information Architecture by Rosenfeld and Morville)
3. corporate communications (Enterprise Content Services by Laugero and Globe)
4. enterprise systems development (Metadata Solutions by Tannenbaum)
5. IT specialist or "power user" (Google Hacks by Calishain and Dornfest)

For each book, we provide a description, highlights, and links to sample chapters.
