Abstract

The International Encyclopedia of Information and Library Science was first published in 1997, and has become the major reference work in its field. This thoroughly revised and updated edition takes full account of the radical changes which have taken place since it was originally conceived. With almost 600 A-Z entries, written by a global team of over 180 contributors, the subject matter ranges from mobile library services provided by camel and donkey transport to search engines, portals and the World Wide Web. The entries fall into four categories: - Conceptual entries explore and explicate all the major issues, theories and activities in information and library science, such as the economics of information and information management. Key features of this edition include a wholly new entry an information systems, and enhanced entries an the information professions and the information society. - Topical entries deal with more specific subjects, such as collection management and information services for minority groups. New or completely revised entries include a group of entries an information law, and a collection of entries an the Internet, the World Wide Web and the theory and application of information systems. - Terminological entries define key terms in the field: from 'almanac' to 'workstation', 'information architecture' to 'spam'. - Biographical entries examine the life and work of key figures for information and library science - such as Turing, Gadamer, Gutenberg, Leibniz and Dewey - many of whom have become synonymous with the contributions which they have made to the discipline. All the longer entries are fully supported by references and suggestions for further reading. And with its comprehensive index and substantial cross-referencing, this new edition of the International Encyclopedia of Information and Library Science is destined to remain an invaluable tool both for reference and as a starting point for more in-depth study.

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: (1) FR Nr. 158 vom11.7.2003, S.14 (P. Zschunke): "Microsoft hat mit seiner Encarta, einen Monat vor der Neuauflage des Brockhaus multimedial, im Wettbewerb der elektronischen Lexika eine weitere Runde eröffnet. Die Encarta wartet jetzt mit einem "Wissenskompass" auf, der ähnliche Themen vernetzt und hilft, vertiefende Informationen zu finden. Der neue Weg, das Lexikon zu erschließen, präsentiert sich gleich zum Start in Form von Spielkarten mit ausgewählten Themen, die in einem endlosen Reigen von A bis Z über den Bildschirm ziehen. Beim Anklicken der Karte von Theodor W Adorno - der Philosoph wurde vor 100 Jahren geboren - öffnet sich ein Karussell mit 20 Themenkarten von abendländischer Philosophie über den kritischen Rationalismus bis zu Zeitgenossen wie Herbert Marcuse oder Jürgen Habermas. Die Qualität der Artikel überzeugt auch, wenn es nicht um die präzise Erklärung von Fakten, sondern um komplexere Themen wie eben Adornos Werk geht. Die Zahl der Beiträge wurde von 46300 auf mehr als 50 000 ausgeweitet; redaktionelle Mängel der vorherigen Ausgabe sind bereinigt. Gibt es zu einem Suchbegriff keinen Artikel vor, schaltet sich die Volltextsuche ein. Wenn die Encarta passen muss, verzweigt sie zur Web-Suchmaschine von Microsofts Network MSN. Die Zeitleiste startet mit der Entstehung der Trilobiten im Meer vor 570 Millionen Jahren und endet mit dem Beginn des Irak-Kriegs am 20. März. Nachträge lassen sich aus dem Internet laden. Dazu kommen Textdokumente und Artikel aus Fachzeitschriften sowie Tonbeispiele und Videosequenzen - sie sind vor allem zu Naturthemen und historischen Ereignissen interessant." - (2) Bergische Landeszeitung Nr.161 vom 15.7.2003, S.rma01a/1 (P.

Abstract

The Multilingual Dictionary of Knowledge Management comprises some 3,400 basic and topical terms in the major European languages, i.e. English, French, Spanish, Italian and German. The terms, which are presented in an introductory summary, cover all areas relevant for making knowledge management a success, such as database tcchnologv, document management and knowledge presentation. The terms as such were compiled on the basis of current original sources, reference books and specialist journals of the countries in question

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.
