Rez. in: KO 35(2008) no.1, S.55-58 (M.P. Satija): "The Sears List, first published in 1923, has survived times of destabilizing changes while keeping reasonable continuity with the past. Dr. Joseph Miller, at the helm since 1992 and the longest-serving editor in the eighty-four years of the List's existence, first edited the 15th edition of the Sears (1994). Over the years, the Sears has achieved more than it had hoped for: ever-increasing use the world over. In fact, the turbulent progress of media and information theories has forced the Sears to keep up with the changing times. Knowledge organization is a shifting sand in the electronic era. Vast and varied changes generate not only new information, but also new terms and phrases. It is trite to say that the electronic media have transformed the way in which we access information and knowledge. The new edition of the Sears has absorbed these changes to reflect the times. The 19th edition, released in May 2007, has about 440 new headings, to bring the new total to over 8000 headings, which keeps the growth rate at five percent. Newly-added headings generally fall into one of two categories: a) headings for the new and current subjects and b) headings previously missed. A few more have been modified. New editions are produced regularly to: - incorporate terms for new subjects, - restructure the form of old headings to suit the changing information needs and informationseeking behaviour of the users, - add new terms to old subject headings to reflect current usage, - delete the obsolete subjects, - forge new relations between subjects and their terms. Two major areas of new additions are in the fields of Islam, as might be expected, and the graphic novel- the latter has thirty headings perhaps drawn from the WilsonWeb Database on Graphic Novels Core Collection. ... The lapses are minor and could be forgiven; they in no way detract from this continuously-expanding and well-established tool for subject-cataloguing in small and medium libraries. The handy List and its lucid introduction make Sears an excellent and convenient tool for teaching subject headings' use and principles, as well as methods of vocabulary control. With its glossy and flowery cover, clear typeface and high production standards, the new edition is particularly welcome."

Rez. in: ZfBB 51(2004) H.2, S.116-118 (H. Jüngling): "Das überspitzt gezeichnete Bild vom Ingenieur,der nur mit Rechenschieber und Zeichenbrett ausgestattet und ohne weitere Hilfsmittel im stillen Kämmerlein erfolgreich neue, nützliche Maschinen konstruiert, stimmt schon lange nicht mehr. Zwar haben Ingenieure die Unterstützung durch moderne Rechner in der täglichen Praxis nicht nur gerne und zügig schätzen gelernt, sie waren sogar häufig Vorreiter bei deren (Weiter-)Entwicklung und Nutzung. Zur Beschaffung von Informationen jedweder Art wurden Rechner dagegen zunächst überaus zögerlich angenommen und gewannen - wie allerdings in vielen anderen Wissenschaftsbereichen auch -für diese Verwendung im Grunde erst durch die Möglichkeiten des Internets an Akzeptanz und Bedeutung. Erste Initiativen, dem möglicherweise spezifischen Informationsbedarf von Ingenieuren entgegenzukommen und der Engineering Community »runde« Angebote zu machen, gehen auf die Mitte der 90er-Jahre zurück. So sind 1994/95 u.a. die Engineering Electronic Library, Sweden (EELS, 1994),2 das Engineering Village von Engineering Information Inc., NewYork (1995)3 und die Edinburgh Engineering Virtual Library (EEVL, 1995)4 entstanden. Zum Vergleich sei angemerkt, dass konkrete Planungen für die Virtuelle Fachbibliothek Technik (ViFaTec)s der TIB/DFG erst 1997/98 einsetzten. Nach anfänglicher Euphorie hat sich bekanntermaßen relativ schnell gezeigt, dass derartige Angebote trotz teilweise überregionaler Zusammenarbeit nicht ohne erheblichen finanziellen Aufwand zu kreieren und vor allem aufrecht zu erhalten und zu pflegen sind.So hat z.B.die zweite Generation des Engineering Village von früheren, relativ hoch gesteckten Zielen Abstand genommen. Die EELS hat ihr Angebot bereits vor etwa einem Jahr »eingefroren«. Dagegen scheint die EEVL noch immer recht lebendig zu sein. U. a. deshalb soll hier näher darauf eingegangen werden. ..."

Abstract

The Thesaurus of ERIC Descriptors, 14th Edition 2001, has been developed under the auspices of the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) of the National Library of Education, Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), U.S. Department of Education. Its content reflects ERIC's 34 years of monitoring the educational literature. This 14th edition is the result of ERIC's continued efforts to maintain quality in its controlled vocabulary and to respond to the changing nature of education. As in previous editions, the Thesaurus reflects ERIC's response to the needs of the educational user community. ERIC remains committed to maintaining a Thesaurus that represents the definitive vocabulary for education. The 2001 edition contains 10,773 vocabulary terms, of which 5,963 are main-entry Descriptors and 4,810 are non-indexable USE references or "Dead" terms. New terms not appearing in previous editions include 206 Descriptors and 210 USE references. This edition also reflects several hundred Scope Notes and Cross-reference modifications to earlier Descriptor displays. Again as in the past, the Thesaurus revision has been made possible by the joint efforts and sound judgments of personnel throughout the entire ERIC system responding to both the literature and the users in the field. ERIC vocabulary coordinators, who, as members of the systemwide "Vocabular Review Group," oversee this effort, are listed below.
