    Since E&C is celebrating its 10th year of publication, it is interesting to look at the recent changes taking place in comparison with the tables in the International Medium Edition, 2"d Edition, English Text, the last printed edition published in 1993. Indeed in 2004 UDC is a very different system than it was in 1993. A sample of revisions carried out since the year 2000 bear this out and exemplify a number of important trends. In general, there has been much greater use of faceted structure signifying a definite move in the direction of a fully faceted system. Particularly significant is the completely revised and restructured class "2 Religion. Theology" (E&C 2000, 21-116) in which faceting has been used to eliminate the previous bias toward the Christian religion. In a number of cases, whole classes and disciplines are being replaced. In other situations, while the structure remains the same, there is detailed editing and massive expansion. A Gase in point is the major overhaul of the Auxiliary Table le Common Auxiliaries of Place. Begun in 1999, this is a work still in progress. Expansion includes muck subdivision into various political divisions and the use of lengthy "including" notes to spell out subdivisions where individual class numbers are deemed unnecessary. In other instances there is the deletion of some tables and classes and their replacement by new structures. Noteworthy is the cancellation of Table li Common Auxiliaries of Point of View (E&C 2001, 134-138) and the relocation of those topics in Table lk-02 Common Auxiliaries of Properties (E&C 1999, 133-141) and the development of Table 1k-04 Systematic Auxiliaries of Relations Processes and Operations (E&C 2002 Proposal, 32-35). The introduction of new and updated terminology and the inclusion of new topics is particularly evident. For example in Class 5 (E&C 2002, 120) one can find such new topics as: 574.1 Biodiversity, 575.11 The Genome. Genomics and 575.112 Bioinformatics. In Class 6, particularly noteworthy is the addition of the new multidisciplinary topic 60 Biotechnology (E&C 2002, 120-124) that "embraces aspects of many other disciplines and demands a synthetic style of classification". Several definitions and a detailed explanation, together with supporting sources are given. Included are such topics as 602.6 Genetic engineering, 602.7 Cloning, and 608.1 Bioethics. An example of complete relocation of a topic can be found in Class 65 Management and organization of industry, trade and communication (E&C 2002, 126-129) has been removed and its contents relocated, chiefly in 005. Many more examples Gould be given but these are sufficient to indicate that UDC is gradually becoming a completely new system.
    A need was identified to give some consideration to detailed classes that were in an advanced state and which would be coming up for finalization in the near future. Thus the 3415` meeting focused an "Developmental biology." Progress an BC2 as reported in The Bliss Classification Bulletin, no 46, 2004 indicates that the publication of the revision Class C (Chemistry) was imminent. Work was also underway an Architecture in Class W (The Arts), which the Group considered to be the most time consuming class to date. With respect to Class W2 (Music) the Bliss Classification Association has decided to investigate the possibility of producing a music thesaurus to appear alongside the classification scheme for Music. A subcommittee chaired by Jean Aitchison was to be set up. It was further reported that Dr. David Johnson, Librarian at St. Peter's College Oxford, has persuaded his committee to adopt BC2 for its library. This is the first Oxford library to adopt BC2, although BC1 is used by three colleges and the Pitt Rivers Museum. They would like to reclassify to BC2, but presently do not have the money to do so. The Bliss Classification Bulletin is published once a year and contains useful news notes and articles an the application of BC2. In 2004 there are two articles related to the application of Bliss in thesaurus construction. "Bliss-based information management at the Department of Health," by Philip Defriez describes ways in which Bliss is used in the U.K. Department of Health. "Thesauri from BC2: problems and possibilities" by Jean Aitchison discusses an experimental thesaurus derived from the Bliss music schedule."

    Footnote
    Zwar ist das Register zu diesem Buch ein Vorbild, und dem Verlag sei gedankt, dass dem Register neun Prozent vom Buchumfang zugestanden worden sind. Aber auch hier vermisst man noch immer Schlagwörter wie z.B. "Interpretation" oder "Cutter's Rule" (für die Notwendigkeit, die jeweils besttreffenden Schlagwörter aus dem Indexsprachenwortschatz beim Indexieren zu benutzen), alles Themen, die im Buch abgehandelt sind. Wohltuend ist auch die undogmatische Art, in welcher verschiedene formale Indexierungsvarianten als zulässige Alternativen nebeneinander gestellt werden. Unkonventionell ist es beispielsweise im Register zu diesem Buch, dass ein Schlagwort dort auch schon dann durch Untereinträge aufgegliedert wird, wenn es weniger als fünf bis sechs Fundstellenangaben hat. Wohltuend auch die Unvoreingenommenheit, in welcher die Stärken von nicht interpretierter Volltextverarbeitung dort hervorgehoben werden, wo sie zum Zug kommen können, wie z.B. bei simplen Erinnerungs- und Namenrecherchen. Ein wenig ins Auge springender Ratschlag an jeden, der beruflichen oder privaten Schriftwechsel führt oder Fachliteratur liest, verdient hervorgehoben zu werden. Es ist ratsam, frühzeitig mit einer wenigstens rudimentären Indexierung seines Schrifttums zu beginnen, nicht erst dann, wenn einem seine private Sammlung über den Kopf gewachsen ist und wenn sich die Suchfehlschläge häufen und an den Nerven zu zehren beginnen. Die Erinnerung an den Wortlaut der gesuchten Dokumente, worauf man sich anfänglich noch stützen kann, ist nämlich bald verblasst und steht dann nicht mehr als Suchhilfe zur Verfügung. Allerdings wird man für den Eigenbedarf keine derartig ausführliche Einführung in die Theorie und Praxis des Indexierens benötigen, wie sie in diesem Buch geboten wird. Hierfür gibt es andernorts gute Kurzfassungen. Wer dieses Buch als Indexierungsneuling gelesen hat, wird die Indexierungsarbeit und ein Buchregister fortan mit anderen Augen ansehen, nämlich als einen wesentlichen Teil eines Buchs, besonders wenn es sich um ein Nachschlagewerk handelt. Schon eine kurze Einblicknahme in das Buch könnte das Management, einen Verleger oder einen Buchautor davor warnen, all denjenigen Glauben zu schenken, welche behaupten, den Indexer durch ihr vollautomatisches Computerprogramm ersetzen zu können. Das Indexieren umfasst das Übersetzen als einen Teilschritt, nämlich das Übersetzen der Essenz eines Textes oder eines Bildes in eine Indexsprache mit ihrem geregelten Wortschatz. Was man in der Praxis von vollautomatischen Übersetzungen her kennt, selbst von den bisher am weitesten entwickelten Programmen, sollte hier zur Warnung dienen."

    The sixth chapter looks at this interfacing of humans and machines and begins with a series of questions. The crucial one, to my mind, is this: "Does the distinction between humans and technology contribute to a lack of understanding of the continuous interrelationship and interdependence that exists between humans and all of their creations?" (p. 125) Burnett suggests that to use biological or mechanical views of the computer/mind (the computer as an input/output device) Limits our understanding of the ways in which we interact with machines. He thus points to the role of language, the conversations (including the one we held with machines when we were children) that seem to suggest a wholly different kind of relationship. Peer-to-peer communication (P2P), which is arguably the most widely used exchange mode of images today, is the subject of chapter seven. The issue here is whether P2P affects community building or community destruction. Burnett argues that the trope of community can be used to explore the flow of historical events that make up a continuum-from 17th-century letter writing to e-mail. In the new media-and Burnett uses the example of popular music which can be sampled, and reedited to create new compositions - the interpretive space is more flexible. Private networks can be set up, and the process of information retrieval (about which Burnett has already expended considerable space in the early chapters) involves a lot more of visualization. P2P networks, as Burnett points out, are about information management. They are about the harmony between machines and humans, and constitute a new ecology of communications. Turning to computer games, Burnett looks at the processes of interaction, experience, and reconstruction in simulated artificial life worlds, animations, and video images. For Burnett (like Andrew Darley, 2000 and Richard Doyle, 2003) the interactivity of the new media games suggests a greater degree of engagement with imageworlds. Today many facets of looking, listening, and gazing can be turned into aesthetic forms with the new media. Digital technology literally reanimates the world, as Burnett demonstrates in bis concluding chapter. Burnett concludes that images no longer simply represent the world-they shape our very interaction with it; they become the foundation for our understanding the spaces, places, and historical moments that we inhabit. Burnett concludes his book with the suggestion that intelligence is now a distributed phenomenon (here closely paralleling Katherine Hayles' argument that subjectivity is dispersed through the cybernetic circuit, 1999). There is no one center of information or knowledge. Intersections of human creativity, work, and connectivity "spread" (Burnett's term) "intelligence through the use of mediated devices and images, as well as sounds" (p. 221).

    In "Organizing Information" various fundamental organizational schemes are compared. These include hierarchical, relational, hypertext, and random access models. Each is described initially and then expanded an by listing advantages and disadvantages. This comparative format-not found elsewhere in the book-improves access to the subject and overall understanding. The author then affords considerable space to Boolean searching in the chapter "Retrieving Information." Throughout this chapter, the intricacies and problems of pattern matching and relevance are highlighted. The author elucidates the fact that document retrieval by simple pattern matching is not the same as problem solving. Therefore, "always know the nature of the problem you are trying to solve" (p. 56). This chapter is one of the more important ones in the book, covering a large topic swiftly and concisely. Chapters 5 through 11 then delve deeper into various specific issues of information systems. The chapters an securing and concealing information are exceptionally good. Without mentioning specific technologies, Mr. Ratzan is able to clearly present fundamental aspects of information security. Principles of backup security, password management, and encryption are also discussed in some detail. The latter is illustrated with some fascinating examples, from the Navajo Code Talkers to invisible ink and others. The chapters an measuring, counting, and numbering information complement each other well. Some of the more math-centric discussions and examples are found here. "Measuring Information" begins with a brief overview of bibliometrics and then moves quickly through Lotka's law, Zipf's law, and Bradford's law. For an LIS student, exposure to these topics is invaluable. Baseball statistics and web metrics are used for illustration purposes towards the end. In "counting Information," counting devices and methods are first presented, followed by discussion of the Fibonacci sequence and golden ratio. This relatively long chapter ends with examples of the tower of Hanoi, the changes of winning the lottery, and poker odds. The bulk of "Numbering Information" centers an prime numbers and pi. This chapter reads more like something out of an arithmetic book and seems somewhat extraneous here. Three specific types of information systems are presented in the second half of the book, each afforded its own chapter. These examples are universal as not to become dated or irrelevant over time. "The Computer as an Information System" is relatively short and focuses an bits, bytes, and data compression. Considering the Internet as an information system-chapter 13-is an interesting illustration. It brings up issues of IP addressing and the "privilege-vs.-right" access issue. We are reminded that the distinction between information rights and privileges is often unclear. A highlight of this chapter is the discussion of metaphors people use to describe the Internet, derived from the author's own research. He has found that people have varying mental models of the Internet, potentially affecting its perception and subsequent use.

    Abstract
    Design and Usability of Digital Libraries: Case Studies in the Asia Pacific showcases some of the best digital library practices from organizations in the Asia Pacific. Particular emphasis has been placed on the design, use and usability of digital libraries. Not only are digital libraries examined, but related technologies, the management of knowledge in digital libraries, and the associated usability and social issues surrounding digital libraries are all examined. Design and Usability of Digital Libraries will benefit practitioners, researchers, educators and policy makers from a variety of disciplines. In particular developers/designers of digital libraries, librarians, users and researchers will all find this collection of case studies a valuable tool to understanding digital libraries.
