The Accidental Taxonomist by Heather Hedden

Excellent look at taxonomy in great detail. Includes theory, practical tips, and discussion of career options. I found this very helpful in some of my recent projects.

Indexing Specialties: Web Sites by Heather Hedden

Combining the broad concepts of indexing with step-by-step instructions for certain tasks, this title covers the particulars of indexing web sites. Obviously, any computer-related title will suffer some obsolescence, but many of the concepts are timeless. The best part of the book was the distinction between a "site map" and a "site index," which serve different needs.
