Lepsky): "So ist auch der vorliegende Band in weiten Teilen Beleg für die Unsicherheit des Berufsstandes aber auch für die Beliebigkeit fachlicher Debatten, dokumentiert damit aufs Anschaulichste das Fehlen einer Bibliothekswissenschaft und ist - dies dann wohl eher unfreiwillig - Standortbestimmung der Bibliothekswissenschaft. Deshalb schon lohnt sich die Lektüre, die einem Nachdenken über Bibliothekswissenschaft nur förderlich sein kann. Immerhin sind sogar nahezu alle Autoren einig darin, dass es einer solchen Disziplin auch zukünftig bedarf, was hoffen lässt." - ZfBB 53(2006) H.2, S,109-111 (M.

Zum ersten Mal liegt die Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) auf Deutsch vor. Die Deutsche Bibliothek und die Fachhochschule Köln haben im Rahmen eines von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft finanzierten Projekts die 2003 erschienene Standard Edition der DDC 22 übersetzt und damit die Grundlage für die Nutzung der DDC im deutschsprachigen Raum geschaffen. In vier Bänden verzeichnet die DDC in etwa 60.000 Hauptklassen das gesamte Weltwissen in einer hierarchisch gegliederten Form, ergänzt durch umfangreiche Hilfstafeln für alle geografischen, ethnografischen und sprachlichen Einheiten und ein alphabetisches Register mit etwa 80.000 Einträgen.

Rez. in: Informationsmittel für Bibliotheken (Online-Ausgabe) 06-2-176 (H. Wiesenmüller): "Die erste Version der Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) erschien 1876 - bis zur ersten deutschen Ausgabe hat es mithin fast 130 Jahre gedauert, obwohl die DDC schon in mehr als 30 Sprachen vorliegt. Dies zeigt deutlich, wie gering das Interesse an dieser Klassifikation im deutschsprachigen Raum noch bis vor kurzem gewesen ist. Kein Wunder, wurde doch der DDC - häufig sehr pauschal - eine rein amerikanische Weltsicht und ein antiquiertes Wissenschaftsbild unterstellt. Nichtsdestoweniger war der Einsatz einer deutschen DDC bereits 1998 von der Expertengruppe Klassifikation empfohlen worden. Eine Machbarkeitsstudie aus dem Jahr 2000 unterstützte diese Beurteilung und machte konkrete Vorgaben für die praktische Umsetzung. Zu den Vorteilen der DDC gehört ihre weltweite Verbreitung (wobei einschränkend zu sagen ist, daß die meisten 'academic libraries' in den USA nicht die DDC, sondern die Library of Congress Classification anwenden) sowie ihre kontinuierliche Pflege und dadurch verhältnismäßig hohe Aktualität, die sich freilich i.d.R. erst auf den tieferen Ebenen zeigt. In jüngerer Zeit hat sie außerdem große Bedeutung bei der sachlichen Erschließung von Online-Ressourcen gewonnen und wird von vielen Dokumentenservern und Fachportalen zumindest für ein grobes Klassifizieren eingesetzt. Die seit Oktober 2005 vorliegende deutsche Übersetzung der 22. Standard Edition von 2003 ist das Ergebnis eines an der Fachhochschule Köln und der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek (DNB) angesiedelten und von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) finanzierten Projekts (Laufzeit: 2002-2005). Das Projekt wurde von einer vom Standardisierungsausschuß eingesetzten Expertengruppe begleitet; über das Konsortium DDC Deutsch waren außerdem mehrere deutsche Bibliotheksverbünde sowie der Österreichische Bibliothekenverbund und die Schweizerische Landesbibliothek eingebunden.
Die hier anzuzeigende Druckausgabe wurde mit Hilfe eines speziell dafür entwickelten, datenbankgestützten Editionssystems erstellt. Parallel wurde ein Online-Dienst ('Melvil') aufgebaut, der im Vergleich zur Printversion mancherlei Vorteile besitzt. So wird Melvil halbjährlich aktualisiert und erweitert: Dabei werden nicht nur die amerikanischen Ergänzungslieferungen eingespielt, sondern auch synthetische, d.h. 'zusammengebaute' Notationen aus der praktischen Anwendung der DNB. Auch die Suchfunktionalitäten gehen deutlich über die Möglichkeiten der Druckausgabe hinaus - nicht zuletzt auf Grund einer sukzessiven Anreicherung mit Suchbegriffen aus der Schlagwortnormdatei (SWD) im Rahmen eines weiteren DFG-Projekts ('CrissCross'). So könnte man sich durchaus fragen, warum überhaupt eine Druckausgabe produziert wurde. Diese hat jedoch den unschätzbaren Vorteil, mit einer einmaligen Zahlung (wenn auch eines stattlichen Preises!) abgegolten zu sein, während für die Nutzung von Melvil jährliche Lizenzgebühren anfallen. Trotz ihres Umfangs von zusammen über 4000 Seiten sind die vier Bände vom Gewicht her erfreulich leicht ausgefallen. Das sehr dünne Papier hat allerdings den Nachteil, daß der Text der Rückseite deutlich durchschlägt. Als ausgesprochen gelungen empfand die Rezensentin die Umschlaggestaltung, bei der das klassische Dunkelgrün der DDC-Ausgaben mit dem bekannten (um nicht zu sagen: berüchtigten) Orange des Saur-Verlags kombiniert wurde. Der erste Band enthält - neben verschiedenen Vorworten und Begleittexten - eine kurz gefaßte Einführung in die DDC (im Original: Introduction to Dewey Decimal Classification; im Deutschen etwas unglücklich wiedergegeben als Einleitung in die Dewey-Dezimalklassifikation), die Praxishilfe und die Hilfstafeln. In der Praxishilfe (im Original: Manual) werden schwierige Fälle erläutert, z.B. die Abgrenzung inhaltlich eng verwandter Klassen. Obwohl die Praxishilfe für die 22. Auflage komplett überarbeitet wurde, ist der Text noch immer recht schwer zu lesen. In der deutschen Fassung ergeben sich dabei z.T. komplizierte Schachtelsätze, die sich über fünf oder gar sechs Zeilen erstrecken.3 Die Haupttafeln finden sich im zweiten und dritten Band, das Register im abschließenden vierten Band.

Rez. in: JASIST 56(2005) no.14, S.1555-155639 (K. Reuter): "Blowers and Bryan open their book with the image of the Internet as "a pied piper luring children away from books" (p. xiii), nicely capturing the struggle that some children's librarians face to keep their libraries vital and appealing to today's increasingly technologically savvy children. Part idea book, part primer an Web production, Weaving a Library Web encourages and supports children's librarians in expanding their children's services to the Web, "to bring the library to children, and to bring children into the library" (p. xiii). Blowers and Bryan's guidance grows out of their own work an a family of highly appealing and well-received Web sites for children through the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County in North Carolina. Though a number of guides already exist for offering library services online and for creating appropriate online services for children, the au thors note that their book is the first to combine these two areas to focus an the development of library service Web sites for children. The book is organized into eight chapters that can be read through for an overview of the Web production process or can be used individually as stand-alone references. The first half of the book offers ideas for and general principles of Web design for children, and the second half provides hands-on advice for undertaking a Web project. Blowers and Bryan cover each topic thoughtfully in a collegial, often breezy tone. . . .

Rez. in: nfd 54(2003) H.8, S.497 (T. Mandl): "Gesetze der digitalen Anarchie - Hyperlinks im Internet entstehen als Ergebnis sozialer Prozesse und können auch als formaler Graph im Sinne der Mathematik interpretiert werden. Die Thematik Hyperlinks ist im Information Retrieval höchst aktuell, da Suchmaschinen die Link-Struktur bei der Berechnung ihrer Ergebnisse berücksichtigen. Algorithmen zur Bestimmung des "guten Rufs" einer Seite wie etwa PageRank von Google gewichten eine Seite höher, wenn viele links auf sie verweisen. Zu den neuesten Erkenntnissen über die Netzwerkstruktur des Internets liegen zwei sehr gut lesbare Bücher vor. Der Autor des ersten Buchs, der Wirtschaftswissenschaftler Huberman, ist Leiter einer Forschungsabteilung bei Hewlett Packard. Huberman beschreibt in seinem Buch zunächst die Geschichte des Internet als technologische Revolution und gelangt dann schnell zu dessen Evolution und den darin vorherrschenden Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilungen. Oberraschenderweise treten im Internet häufig power-law Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilungen auf, die der Zipf'schen Verteilung ähneln. Auf diese sehr ungleichen Aufteilungen etwa von eingehenden HypertextLinks oder Surfern pro Seite im Internet bezieht sich der Titel des Buchs. Diese immer wieder auftretenden Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilungen scheinen geradezu ein Gesetz des Internet zu bilden. So gibt es z.B. viele Sites mit sehr wenigen Seiten und einige wenige mit Millionen von Seiten, manche Seiten werden selten besucht und andere ziehen einen Großteil des Internet-Verkehrs auf sich, auf die meisten Seiten verweisen sehr wenige Links während auf einige wenige populäre Seiten Millionen von Links zielen. Das vorletzte Kapitel widmen übrigens beide Autoren den Märkten im Internet. Spätestens hier werden die wirtschaftlichen Aspekte von Netzwerken deutlich. Beide Titel führen den Leser in die neue Forschung zur Struktur des Internet als Netzwerk und sind leicht lesbar. Beides sind wissenschaftliche Bücher, wenden sich aber auch an den interessierten Laien. Das Buch von Barabási ist etwas aktueller, plauderhafter, länger, umfassender und etwas populärwissenschaftlicher."

Rez. in: Mitt VÖB 61(2008) H.1, S.99-103 (M. Sandner): "In der Schriftenreihe "Information Professional Series" möchte der Verlag vielbeschäftigten Angehörigen der Bibliothekszunft leicht lesbares, sehr praxisorientiertes, durch ausgewiesene Autoritäten ihres Faches abgesichertes und aktuelles State-of-the-art-Wissen anbieten. - Der Verfasser des vorliegenden Bandes gilt als solch ein arrivierter Experte in Sachen Wissensorganisation, Klassifikation im Allgemeinen und DDC, Kolonklassifikation und UDK im Besonderen. Er ist Vorstand des Departments für Bibliotheks- und Informationswissenschaft an einer indischen Universität. Seinem Text stellt er einige tiefe Verbeugungen voran: die erste gilt dem 1991 verstorbenen Herausgeber der 20. Ausgabe der DDC, den er als geistigen Koautor mit herein nimmt, die zweite gilt Melvil Dewey und dessen phänomenaler Erfindung (The sun never sets on its ever-spreading empire.), die dritte, den ganzen Text begleitende, gilt - unausgesprochen - dem Konzept der Facettierung von Ranganathan. Satijas erklärte Absicht ist es, Anfängern die DDC22 verständlich zu machen und Anwendern zu nützlichen Einsichten zu verhelfen. Einerseits, so kündigt er im Vorwort an, werde er den philosophischen Hintergrund immer wieder beleuchten, andererseits stelle das Buch einen kompletten Kurs dar: anhand didaktisch ausgewählter Beispiele solle nämlich Schritt für Schritt jeder wichtige Bereich des Klassifikationssystems angesprochen und würden alle Methoden für dessen Anwendung erklärt werden. - Keine geringen Ansprüche, die sich Verlag und Verfasser selbst stellen! Das Äußere des Buches wirkt erfrischend und modern - gerne greift man zu dem einladend bunten Band, der laut Inhaltsverzeichnis klar strukturiert scheint. Nur: wo versteckt sich wohl der angekündigte DDC-Kursteil? ... Fazit: sollte dieses Buch, liebe Leserin, lieber Leser, Ihre erste Lektüre über die DDC sein, dann lesen Sie es nicht allein und vor allem, lesen Sie nicht allein dieses! Sollten Sie aber schon einige Erfahrung mit der Dewey haben, dann werden Sie gewiss mit Gewinn all das heraushören, was ein erfahrener Professor aus der Schule zu plaudern vermag, und das, was nur Satija aus seinem Blick auf die DDC Ihnen eröffnen kann."

Rez. in: Online-Mitteilungen 2007, H.89, S.17-18 (M. Katzmayr): "Eine der Herausforderungen, der sich Web-Trainerinnen regelmäßig ausgesetzt sehen, besteht in der Kurzlebigkeit der Recherchetools und ihrer ständig wechselnden Funktionalitäten. Wer spricht heute noch von den Suchmaschinen AltaVista oder Lycos? (Hoffentlich) niemand mehr. Diese Dynamik in der Internetbranche wirkt allerdings auf viele potentielle Vortragende abschreckend, scheint es doch ein unzumutbarer Aufwand zu sein, sich laufend über neue Entwicklungen zu informieren. Wer darunter leidet oder zum ersten Mal eine Webschulung vorbereitet, sollte einen Blick in das vorliegende Buch werfen. Dessen Autor, Greg. R. Notess ist im Bereich des praktischen Web Information Retrieval kein Unbekannter: der Auskunftsbibliothekar an der Montana State University hat sich als Betreiber der Website Search Engine Showdown (http://www.search engineshowdown.com), vielgereister Vortragender, erfahrener Didaktiker und regelmäßiger Autor der Zeitschrift Online einen exzellenten Ruf in der Internet-Gemeinde erworben. Nun liegen seine Kenntnisse zur Vermittlung der Webrecherche auch als Monographie vor, die sich an Leiterinnen von Webschulungen richtet. Zum einen finden sich darin eine Vielzahl an didaktischen und organisatorischen Hinweisen zur Planung und Durchführung von Webschulungen. So werden z.B. die verschiedenen Typen von Kursteilnehmerinnen beschrieben und welchen Problemen sich Anfängerinnen in der Webrecherche in der Regel gegenübersehen. Es werden die verschiedenen Arten von Schulungen (Frontalvorträge, Schulungen mit Übungsmöglichkeiten und Online-Tutorials) mit ihren jeweiligen Vor- und Nachteilen sowie idealtypischen Einsatzmöglichkeiten dargestellt, weiters werden Hinweise zu Zielsetzungen und Länge von Kursen gegeben.

Rez. in: Knowledge organization 31(2004) no.2, S.112-114 (M.P. Satija) : "With nearly 130 years of eventful and checkered history, the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) is the oldest living yet thriving modern library classification. Having undergone 21 revisions, it is the most applied library classification structure all over the world. Apart from its use in libraries in more than 135 countries across six continents, many national and trade bibliographies use it for content organization. Furthermore, it is now making successful forays into the world of electronic documents and networked information. The print version of the 22nd edition was released in September 2003, two months later than the scheduled time of July 2003, and two months after the release of the electronic version, WebDewey. The period between print editions now seems settled to seven years as a matter of policy. As WebDewey, an the other hand, is updated an a quarterly basis, what really constitutes a new edition is problematic; edition is rolling, always in a flux without much fixity. The last half century, and more specifically the tenure of Benjamin A. Custer as editor (1956-1980; Editions 16-19), has been an era of structural changes in the DDC, backed by professional management and organizational planning. Custer was instrumental in not only resuscitating the system, but also in putting DDC back an the path of progress. His able successor, Dr. John P. Comaromi, edited the 20`h edition (1989) and ushered in a period of simplification and consolidation. Following the acquisition of Forest Press by OCLC in 1988, much more research has gone into making new editions of the DDC. The OCLC Office of Research has involved itself in classification research, especially in the harmonization of various knowledge classification systems and mapping of DDC numbers to subject headings, above all to make DDC capable of organizing electronic information of every sort. The acquisition of DDC by OCLC has also inaugurated an era of new products and services, along with organized marketing. DDC21 (1996) was a product of high IT, and the 22nd edition can safely be termed a child of network technology. It is indeed the first edition produced in the web environment. To stay abreast of current developments an knowledge practices, the editors relied an the Internet and electronic databases for new topics and terms. Editors and policy makes got constant feedback and suggestions via the Internet to add new features and to achieve accuracy and efficiency. In addition to the feedback and expert advice, this edition, as usual, is based an actual classification of three quarters of a million current books in the Decimal Classification Division of the Library of Congress since 1996.
Changes DDC22 is the second edition prepared by Joan S. Mitchell who took over as editor in 1993. It carries forward the policies and improvements started in DDC21, especially the onslaught an the Christian and western cultural blas in the schedules and tables. The plan for reducing Christian blas in 200 Religion, initiated in DDC21, has now been completed, with some additional provisions in 296 and 297. An outstanding change has been the abrogation of Table 7 Persons. The functions of Table 7 are now filled by using T1-08 and whatever notation is appropriate from 011-999. There are at least six places in the tables and 12 places in the schedules where the use of T7 was prescribed; what good the abolition of T7 has produced is not clear. In fact, it does make number building in some cases a bit circuitous, especially while using Table 3C. It has also resulted in the reuse of many DDC 21 numbers with new meanings. However, some numbers remain the same e.g., Social customs of artists 390.47 (both in DDC21 and DDC22). A few numbers have also become shorter in length. In compliance with the recommendations of D'Elia's survey, all works relating to directories of travel facilities such as hotels, lodges, Motels, inns, have been shifted to 910.46 and to 913/919 whereas 647.94 continues to be in place for general information about hotels. A common practice in previous editions, that is full class or extensive revisions (phoenix schedules), appear to have been discontinued in the preparation of DDC22. But minor changes are numerous. There are more than one thousand relocations and discontiuations of class numbers. Some 40 numbers have been reused. ... However, all these changes are not those projected as slated changes for DDC22 in the DDC21 (1996), namely in 520 Astronomy, 355-359 Military science, 636-639 Animal husbandry and 690 Buildings. Obviously the switch over to the DDC 22 will put less strain an libraries. There has been considerable improvement in the manual, now shifted to volume 1 of the print edition (pp. 1-182). Notes in the manual have been shortened by removing redundant information and by dividing them into smaller sections. Some information from the manual has been transferred to the schedules and tables, in the form of notes. The manual is now clearer and easier to read. Flow Charts, built-in numbers, and see also references should help classifiers achieve greater consistency. The relative index has been beefed up. With its 928 pages, it is 333 pages longer than the previous one, including new built-in numbers and many additional terms. The entry vocabulary is wide-based and current. DDC 22, the first edition of this millennium, has kept pace with the fast changing information environment to map and organize it squarely. To quote our friends at OCLC: knowledge is a big world, and they have organized it."
