Editorial Reviews

Review

"Austerberry does a remarkable job of showing the way forward to the largest potential users of such systems, while still making it very clear how education and training will move during the next decade or so...all in twenty well written, well illustrated and well indexed chapters...the book is certainly not one that will sit unread on your shelf." - British Journal of Educational Technology

The book is highly recommended for both beginners and more advanced readers, alrhough perhaps not for engineers who are involved in digital asset management on a daily basis. The book is up-to-date, informative, relevant, comprehensive and accurate.-European Broadcasting Union, January 2007

2.0 out of 5 stars Didn't really say much, January 6, 2007

This review is from: Digital Asset Management (Paperback)

This book just didn't really say that much. I don't know how else to put it. I guess that means that my review won't really say much. :-) It feels like it was written as an executive summary for executives who want to know the buzzwords and acronyms so they can sound like they know what Digital Asset Management is. It was really odd when the author went into a little bit of detail about the technology, of course it didn't really say anything, but it was just enough to make one sound like an idiot.
