Abstract

In the late 1970s libraries suddenly recognized the importance of online catalogues. Advanced computer technology can handle massive bibliographic records and direct user inquiries (cataloguing and circulation) and online access is much more adequate than a cara and COM catalogue. There are several problems associated woth online public access catalogues as they are designed primarily for direct use by library patrons without knowledge of library cataloguing rules, yet the introduction of online catalogues extends the services that a library offers in the sense of efficiency, productivity and cooperation with other libraries, i. e. users and staff.

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this reader is to assemble in one place those writings considered to have made significant impact an subject analysis. The items selected are considered to contain thoughts and ideas that best illustrate the courses that subject analysis has taken over the years and that shed light an future directions. Most of the writings in this collection have been widely cited and are well known. Many of them were originally published in books that are no longer in print; others appeared in journals that are not easily accessible to many readers. Reprinting these writings in one collection serves two purposes: it makes them readily available for the study and teaching of subject analysis and it shows the genesis and development of some of the most significant ideas in the field.
Definition and Scope For the purpose of this reader, subject analysis is understood to encompass vocabulary structuring and subject indexing. Vocabulary structuring refers to the constructing of tools, such as classifications, subject heading lists, and thesauri, designed to facilitate the organization and retrieval of information. These tools, though called by different names, are similar in that they structure or control the basic vocabulary of a subject index language by 1) stipulating terms that may be used in the classing or indexing of documents and 2) displaying semantic relationships, such as hierarchy and synonymy, that obtain between these terms. They differ in the kinds of terms and relationships they recognize and in the manner in which these are displayed. Subject indexing refers to the application of a vocabulary, which may be more or less well structured, to indicate the content or aboutness of documents. Traditionally subject indexing limits its domain to only certain types of documents, such as passages within books (back-of-book indexing) or periodical articles, and the expression it uses to only certain types of strings, for example, descriptors or index terms as opposed to subject headings or class numbers. However, in a generalized and more modern sense, subject indexing refers to the indication of the theme or topic of any document, indeed any retrieval artifact, by any meaningful string of alphanumeric characters. The value of construing the meaning of subject analysis broadly is threefold: it permits comparing a variety of approaches to subject analysis; it permits generalizing about these approaches at a relatively high descriptive level, so that principles and objectives are shown in relief; and, most importantly perhaps, it permits a unified view of the traditional and information scientific approaches to subject analysis.
Criteria for Selection In selecting the writings to be included in this reader, we have followed the criteria listed below: 1. Theoretical emphasis. Our focus is an theoretical and philosophical aspects rather than practical or technical considerations. In a number of cases, where several authors have written an the same subject or idea or expressed similar thoughts, the originator of the idea, if this could be determined, was selected. 2. Significance and impact. Our most important criterion is the significance of a particular piece or the contribution that it has made in the field of subject analysis. The impact of the ideas or concepts an subsequent practice in subject analysis has also been considered. 3. Perspicuity. Where multiple choices were available an a particular topic or area, our tendency was to exclude the writings that are obscure or highly technical and would require a high degree of tech nical sophistication an the part of the reader. Comprehensibility and clarity of style were often our guide. Based an the criteria stated above, the following types of writings have generally been excluded: review articles, the how-to-do-it type of writings, and textbook materials. In a way, it would probably be easier to defend the writings that have been included than to justify the exclusions. In a small volume containing writings chosen from a vast amount of available material, it is virtually impossible to arrive at a collection that will satisfy every reader. Each person has his or her own preferences or criteria. Inevitably, personal bias comes into play in assembling such a reader. At least, we hope that in this case the collective bias of three individuals rather than one has helped to provide a certain degree of balance. A number of writings originally selected for inclusion were omitted because of space limitation or failure to secure permission to reprint.

Abstract

Seitdem C. P. Snow - Physiker und Romancier zugleich - 1959 zum ersten Mal von den »zwei Kulturen« sprach, ist dieses Wort zu einem festen Begriff geworden. Die »zwei Kulturen« - das sind die zwei Welten der Geisteswissenschaft und Literatur einerseits, der Naturwissenschaft und Technik andererseits, zwischen denen sich eine Kluft gegenseitigen Nichtverstehens aufgetan hat. Ignoranz und Spezialisierung auf beiden Seiten haben zuweilen sogar eine gewisse Feindseligkeit entstehen lassen. Mit Recht hält Snow diese Situation für ein wichtiges Problem des Westens, für politisch gefährlich, und zwar schon aus dem Grunde, weil die Geisteswissenschaftler und Politiker nicht mehr wissen, ob Ratschläge der Naturwissenschaftler richtig oder falsch sind. Die These von den zwei Kulturen fand ein weltweites Echo und entfachte eine Diskussion, in der das Problem, das Snow als sein eigenes Problem empfunden hat, sich immer mehr auf das Verhältnis der Literatur zur »naturwissenschaftlichen Revolution« zuspitzte. Obwohl nämlich Snow beiden Kulturen ihre Einseitigkeit vorwirft, macht er letztlich doch die literarische Intelligenz, die er fortschrittsfeindlich und im eigentlichen Sinn antiintellektuell nennt, für die Isolierung verantwortlich. Dieser Band enthält den vollständigen Text der berühmten Vorlesung Snows und seinen >Nachtrag< von 1963, in dem er sich mit der Kritik auseinandersetzt, außerdem zwölf Beiträge zur Diskussion aus dem angloamerikanischen und deutschen Bereich, die das Problem von den verschiedensten Seiten aus angehen sowie ein aktuelles Vorwort des Herausgebers.
