    Abstract
    Webster's Third New International Dictionary is the perfect answer to every reference need. Utilizing the resources of more than one hundred years of dictionary publishing, this single volume work covers the current vocabulary of standard written and spoken English as well as incorporating many scientific and technical terms. The easy-to-understand, concise definitions were compiled under the direction of the Webster's staff of lexicographers, assuring both accuracy and clarity. Each word has been thoroughly researched to ensure that the dictionary meets its aims of correctness and comprehensiveness. Each term is defined at its own place in the alphabet with completely analytical one-phrase definitions. A pronunciation guide for standard American usage and etymologies of many words are also included. This unabridged version contains over 450,000 entries. More than 10 million sources were consulted for examples of usage, over 14,000 different authors are quoted, and thousands of verbal illustrations from the mid-twentieth century are presented to show words in context. In addition, the dictionary includes numerous tables for weights and measurements, chemical elements, mathematical formulas, and much more. Several full-page illustrations are also provided to assist the reader in understanding such diverse topics as the human body, star constellations, and the color spectrum. Unmatched in scope and quality, featuring a handsome text design and a sturdy binding made to endure long and frequent use, this Webster's Third New International Dictionary truly fulfills the needs for an accurate, clear, and comprehensive understanding of the English vocabulary in today's society.

    Abstract
    Mathematical dictionaries rarely explain where any of the terms came from, and then only briefly ... This is the first book that combines a mathematical dictionary and an etymological dictionary and as such, is recommended for any library covering the field of mathematics. The Words of Mathematics explains the origins of over 1500 mathematical terms used in English. While other dictionaries of mathematics define technical terms, this book concentrates on where those terms came from and what their literal meanings are. The words included here range from simple to advanced.

    Abstract
    Often invisible to the broader society, the information disciplines determine much of what is available to these societies from their entire heritage of knowledge, culture, and entertainment. Containing the contributions of major researchers and practitioners, this third edition of the "Encyclopedia of Library and Information Sciences" reflects the growing convergence among the several disciplines that concern themselves with information and the cultural record. This work addresses these related disciplines in a way that demonstrates the unities across the fields and also recognizes their uniquely distinguishing characteristics. It covers a broad spectrum of related information disciplines, including: archival science; bibliography; document and genre theory; informatics; information systems; knowledge management; library and information science; museum studies; records management; and, social studies of information.

    Content
    Volume 1 is divided into three parts. Part One (Chapters 1 and 2) constitutes an introduction to the reference process and automated reference services. Part Two, "Information: Control and Access," consists of Chapters 3 through 6 and covers an introduction to bibliographies, indexing, and abstracting services. Chapters 7 through 12 are in Part Three, "Sources of Information," which include encyclopedias, various ready reference sources, biographical sources, dictionaries, geographical sources, and government documents. It is as pointless for students to memorize details about specific reference sources, as it is necessary for them to grasp the essential areas of agreement and difference among the various forms. To this end, every effort is made to compare rather than to detail. Only basic or foundation reference works are discussed in this volume. But readers may not find all basic titles included or annotated because: (1) There is no consensus an what constitutes "basic". (2) The objective of this text is to discuss various forms, and the titles used for that purpose are those that best illustrate those forms. (3) The annotations for a specific title are duplicated over and over again in Guide to Reference Books and Guide to Reference Materials, which list the numerous subject bibliographies. In both volumes, suggested readings are found in the footnotes and at the end of each chapter. When a publication is cited in a footnote, the reference is rarely duplicated in the "Suggested Reading." For the most part, these readings are limited to publications issued since 1987. In addition to providing readers with current thinking, these more recent citations have the added bonus of making it easier for the student to locate the readings. A number of the suggested reading items will be found in Reference and Information Sources, A Reader, 4th ed., published by Scarecrow Press, in 1991. It is beyond argument, of course, that all readings need not necessarily be current and that many older articles and books are as valuable today as they were when first published. Thanks to many teachers' having retained earlier editions of this text and the aforementioned Scarecrow title, it is possible to have a bibliography of previous readings. As has been done in all previous editions, the sixth edition notes prices for most of the major basic titles. This practice seems particularly useful today, since librarians must more and more be aware of budgetary constraints when selecting reference titles. CD-ROMS are listed where available. Prices are based an information either from the publisher of the original reference source or from the publisher of the CD-ROM disc. If a particular work is available online, the gross hourly rate as charged by DIALOG is given for its use. Both this rate and the book prices are current as of late 1990 and are useful in determining relative costs. Bibliographic data are based an publisher's catalogs, Books in print, and examination of the titles. The information is applicable as of late 1990 and, like prices, is subject to change.
    The ten chapters in Volume 11 are divided into 3 parts: Part One, "Information and the Community," contains two chapters to familiarize readers with various groups in the community, their information and reference needs, and how professionals attempt to serve those needs. Part Two, "Interview and Search," devotes Chapters 3 through 6 to the vital task of explaining how to isolate and understand the questions readers put to librarians as well as basic methods of finding the correct answer(s). The emphasis is an practical application of tried and true methods of interviewing and searching. Attention is given to both manual and computer searches. Chapter 6 is a guide to basic information about databases, including CD-ROMS. Part Three, "Library Instruction, Networks, Policies, and Evaluation," is comprised of the last four chapters and covers the activities of reference librarians when not responding to direct questions. This part includes hints an teaching people how to find information as well as the networks that help both librarian and user to discover what is needed. Chapter 10 discusses methods of deciding how well the individual has fulfilled the task of being a reference librarian. Only space and the fact that this text is for beginners limits what information it contains. First, many new developments and potentially important technological changes in the field of information are impossible to cover without turning to technical language and jargon quite beyond the average reader of an introductory textbook. However, basic developments are covered and explained, and there is a guide (via the footnotes and suggested readings) for those who wish to explore the future. Second, this volume is for students and working reference librarians and is intended first, foremost, and always as a pragmatic, practical approach. This is not to discount the importance of research and information science. Leaders and followers in those fields are responsible for much of what is revolutionary in references services today. There are other courses, other places where information science can be considered in depth; all that can be done here is to hint at the joy of the intellectual fields that open up to the information scientist and researcher. Students and teachers alike should be aware that much of the material covered in this book is updated, argued, and dutifully considered in several basic journals. RQ, the official voice of reference librarians of the American Library Association, excels in its coverage of the topics considered in this text. Library Journal, while more general, now offers excellent and timely articles an the new technology and its influence an librarians. The Reference Librarian, edited by the author of this text, offers specific discussions of single topics in each issue, and these have ranged from online reference services, to personnel, to problems of evaluation. And, not to be missed, is the nicely edited, always useful, and sometimes downright inspirational, References Services Review.

    Abstract
    "Synchronoptisch" bedeutet, zeitgleiche Geschehnisse auf einen Blick sehen zu können. Das Werk des Historikers Arno Peters (1916-2002) will genau diesen Zugang vermitteln, um so die grossen Linien und Zusammenhänge der Weltgeschichte darzustellen. Es erschien erstmals 1952 in gedruckter Form, erlebte mehrere Auflagen, erschien 2000 als zweibändiges Tafelwerk im Atlasformat, das erstaunlicherweise 250.000 Abnehmer fand und liegt nunmehr in einer von A. Kaiser auf den Stand von 2008 gebrachten digitalen Ausgabe vor, die in Kooperation des Copyright-Inhabers Büro W (Wiesbaden) mit einem Team der Universität Trier entwickelt wurde.

    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.

Beim Anklicken der Karte des Philosophen Adorno öffnet sich ein neues Karussell mit 20 neuen Themenkarten von abendländischer Philosophie bis zu Zeitgenossen wie Herbert Marcuse oder Jürgen Habermas. Der Adorno-Eintrag wird so mit insgesamt 781 Artikeln verknüpft.

Liegt zu einem Suchbegriff kein Artikel vor, schaltet sich die Volltextsuche ein. Wenn die Encarta passen muss, verzweigt sie zum Web mit Hilfe der Suchmaschine von Microsoft. Das "Historama", eine Zeitleiste mit Ereignissen von der Entstehung des Lebens bis in die Gegenwart, endet mit dem Beginn des Irak-Krieges am 20. März. Aktuellere Nachträge werden aus dem Internet heruntergeladen, so dass die Encarta auch das Ende des Krieges parat hat. Die reichhaltigen Audio-Beispiele erstrecken sich vom Ruf der Delfine über Mozart bis zu Abba. Die Auswahl an Videosequenzen wurde von 170 auf 214 Minifilme vergrößert. "Enzyklopädische Karten" geben darüber hinaus Auskunft über historische und statistische Entwicklungen. Die Professional-Version der Encarta mit vier CDs oder einer DVD kostet 119 Euro. An Systemvoraussetzungen werden ein Prozessor ab 33 Megahertz, Windows (ab 98) und mindestens 64 MB RAM verlangt."
