Rez. in: KO 36(2009) nos.2/3, S.180-181 (N.K. Swain): " ... The User's Guide will undoubtedly be of great help to practitioners and tutors, as each chapter includes a summary and exercises. The purpose suggested by the title is fulfilled, serving as a companion to the 19th edition of the Sears List. It is designed a a manual for beginners who will realize the importance of vocabulary control and subject analysis, and start to comprehend the structure and organization of the Sears List as well as the methods and techniques to locate, specify, and construct subject headings. The book, however, lacks a good number of examples for practice. The emphasis seems to have been put more on the theoretical than the practical aspects. Despite this criticism, I unreservedly value the authors' efforts. At the same time, I can't help but wonder if the book will have wide access as the place of publication, the cost and the availability will especially affect the users in developing countries. The User's Guide will be a valuable tool to technical services librarians, subject catalogers, students and teachers of library and information science. It is intended for college and university libraries in general, but more particularly for library schools. The authors produced a work of high quality that stands out in its category.

Rez. in: KO 38(2011) no.4, S.360-361 (M.P. Satija): "The 20th edition of the celebrated Sears List (1sted.1923) published in June 2010 sets a new cycle of three year revision. Earlier it was three and a half years to synchronize with the publication of the new edition of the Abridged Dewey revised after every seven years. In the days of constantly updated WebDewey, it is no more a constraint. For the first time Sears List has been released simultaneously in online database format accessible to licensed subscribers. Responding to the environmental changes the basic edition is the online one whose content is designed in MARC authority. Print edition is now a derivative of the MARC data. The editors keep tabs on the changing information seeking behavior of users and how OPACs are accessed; yet the editors or the publishers never discuss the mechanisms of designing a new edition. The new edition features more than 300 new subject headings suggested by librarians from different types of libraries, vendors of bibliographic records, indexers and subject specialists at the H.W. Wilson Company. Every new edition incorporates advances in vocabulary control, changing approaches of library users for subject access and even in the worldwide use of the English language. Each edition of the Sears List strengthens and continues the policies and consolidates the reforms that began with the 15th edition (1994). It is indeed an era of innovations in Sears. The latest knowledge from information science and information seeking behavior has been deployed to modernize the internal structure and grammar of the Sears List. Continuing adaptation constitutes the key to its success and popularity in the shifting sands of the information-seeking behavior of users. But the List is still a living manifestation of the principles of subject cataloguing put forth by C.A. Cutter (1837-1903).

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 50(2003) H.5, S.295-297 (E. Scheven):"In ihrem Buch »Zeitbegriffe und Zeitcodierungen in allgemeinbibliographischen Datenbanken« entwickelt die Autorin ein theoretisches Modell für ein Zeitretrieval in allgemeinbibliografischen Datenbanken. Dafür untersucht sie die Verwendung von Zeitbegriffen (Epochenbezeichnungen, historiografischen Begriffen) und Zeitcodierungen (Jahreszahlen, Datumsangaben) bei der Indexierung von Dokumenten in allgemeinbibliografischen Datenbanken und deren Retrievalmöglichkeiten. Durch Globalisierung und Internet ist der Zugang zu den Katalogen unterschiedlichster lnstitutionen weit überdie Landesgrenzen hinaus möglich geworden. Dadurch ist der Zwang zur Standardisierung der bibliothekarischen Regeln weltweit verschärft, um Daten-Interoperabilität zu gewährleisten. Hauptziel der Sacherschließung muss immer die optimale Befriedigung der Benutzerbedürfnisse sein. - Kompetente Einführung - Nach einer kurzen geschichtlichen Darstellung der Zeitrechnung an sich und der bibliothekarischen Regelentwicklung wendet sich die Autorin den wichtigsten Sacherschließungswerkzeugen der westlichen WeIt zu, zum einen den beiden internationalen Universalklassifikationen, DDC und UDK, und zum anderen den drei Schlagwortsystemen LCSH, Rameau und SWD,wobei sieden Schwerpunkt auf die verbalen Sacherschließungssysteme legt. LCSH, Rameau und SWD mit RSWK werden kompetent und ausführlich in 164 von 316 Seiten mit ihrer Entwicklungsgeschichte und ihren Unterschieden dargestellt. Jutta Frommeyer ist hier eine gute vergleichende Einführung in die großen verbalen Sacherschließungssysteme gelungen und zwar nicht nur für Anfänger, sondern auch für praxis-erfahrene Sacherschließer. Die Darstellung von Zeitaspekten nach LCSH kann nach sechs verschiedenen Varianten erfolgen. Es gibt keine allgemeinen subdivisions für Zeitangaben. Rameau stimmt in seiner Struktur mit den LCSH überein, weicht aber bei der Indexierung bezüglich der subdivisions von den LCSH ab. Rameau hat eine allgemein zu verwendende Liste (subdivision) mit ca. 40 Unterteilungen für den Zeitaspekt. Nach RSWK wird der Zeitaspekt durch so genannte Zeitschlagwörter wiedergegeben, die wie auch bestimmte Formalschlagwörter durch Jahreszahlen erweitert werden können. Der im Dokument behandelte Zeitabschnitt wird für die Beschlagwortung herangezogen. Vorgegebene Zeituntergliederungen für bestimmte Themenbereiche wie bei LCSH und Rameau gibt es bei RSWK nicht. Zwischen den Schlagwortsystemen gibt es unterschiedliche Indexierungsregeln, wann ein Zeitschlagwort benutzt werden soll oder nicht.

Rez. in: Knowledge organization 34(2007) no.1, S.58-60 (P. Buizza): "This Nuovo soggettario is the first sign of subject indexing renewal in Italy. Italian subject indexing has been based until now on Soggettario per i cataloghi delle biblioteche italiane (Firenze, 1956), a list of preferred terms and see references, with suitable hierarchical subdivisions and cross references, derived from the subject catalogue of the National Library in Florence (BNCF). New headings later used in Bibliografia nazionale italiana (BNI) were added without references, nor indeed with any real maintenance. Systematic instructions on how to combine the terms are lacking: the indexer using this instrument is obliged to infer the order of terms absent from the lists by consulting analogous entries. Italian libraries are suffering from the limits of this subject catalogue: vocabulary is inadequate, obsolete and inconsistent, the syndetic structure incomplete and inaccurate, and the syntax ill-defined, poorly explained and unable to reflect complex subjects. In the nineties, the Subject Indexing Research Group (Gruppo di ricerca sull'indicizzazione per soggetto, GRIS) of the AIB (Italian Library Association) developed the indexing theory and some principles of PRECIS and drew up guidelines based on consistent principles for vocabulary, semantic relationships and subject string construction, the latter according to role syntax (Guida 1997). In overhauling the Soggettario, the National Library in Florence aimed at a comprehensive indexing system. (A report on the method and evolution of the work has been published in Knowledge Organization (Lucarelli 2005), while the feasibility study is available in Italian (Per un nuovo Soggettario 2002). Any usable terms from the old Soggettario will be transferred to the new system, while taking into consideration international norms and interlinguistic compatibility, as well as applications outside the immediate library context. The terms will be accessible via a suitable OPAC operating on the most advanced software.
