Badke, Chapter 4

Metadata and the power of controlled vocabularies deals with the metadata; showing how to search.  How using quotation marks help in order to search for a phrase, and wants us to understand why some searches succeed while other fail. I really liked how he stated “any database is only as useful as its retrieval capability”, which i agree because if you don’t get what your looking for then their is really no point of having it. He goes into details about keywords and controlled vocabularies which I have never seen nor did I ever think their was a difference, but I guess everyone learns something new everyday.
