    Abstract
    This article discusses the inadequate period divisions of Chinese history in LCSH and LCC. By studying cataloging and classification of Chinese history, the author also reveals the problems of expansion and revision of LCSH and LCC and of the lack of correspondence between LCSH and LCC.

    Abstract
    History period subdivisions established by the Library of Congress (LC) for the individual states of the United States are surprisingly inadequate. Only seven states have subdivisions which cover all periods. Fifteen states need updating to cover the twentieth century. Twenty-eight states are deficient in other ways, including thirteen which have no period subdivisions at all or subdivisions only for wars and other special events. Proposals are made to remedy the deficiencies.

    Abstract
    This book gives a concise history and present status of the Dewey Decimal Classification with since its birth in America more than a century ago has spread to 135 countries of the world. Since it was not created for foreign users originally, the DDC has run into difficulties.

    Abstract
    The issue of free-text versus controlled vocabulary is examined in this article. The history of the issue, which is seen as beginning with the debate over title term indexing in the last century, is reviewed and the attention is turned to questions which have not been satisfactorily addressed by previous research. The point is made that these questions need to be answered if we are to design retrieval tools, such as thesauri, upon a national basis

    Abstract
    The history of cataloging pseudonyms is reviewed. The second edition of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules reverses a century-long cataloging practice by allowing authors who use several pseudonyms to be entered in the catalog under each name. The AACR2 rule violates the catalog's objectives as formulated by Lubetzky, and is contradictory to AACR2's own internal logic. The number of disadvantages to the rule far outweigh any advantages. The rule should be replaced.

    Abstract
    The history of encyclopedias and wholly new forms of encyclopedias are briefly reviewed. The possibilities and problems that hypertext presents as a basis for new forms of encyclopedias are explored. The capabilities of current systems, both experimental and commercially available, are outlined, focusing on new possibilities for authoring and design and for reading the retrieval. Examples of applications already making use of hypertext are given.

    Abstract
    A native of Germany and a former teacher of languages and music, Julius Otto Kaiser (1868-1927) came to the Philadelphia Commercial Museum to be its librarian in 1896. Faced with the problem of making "information" accessible, he developed a method of indexing he called systematic indexing. The first draft of his scheme, published in 1896-97, was an important landmark in the history of subject analysis. R. K. Olding credits Kaiser with making the greatest single advance in indexing theory since Charles A. Cutter and John Metcalfe eulogizes him by observing that "in sheer capacity for really scientific and logical thinking, Kaiser's was probably the best mind that has ever applied itself to subject indexing." Kaiser was an admirer of "system." By systematic indexing he meant indicating information not with natural language expressions as, for instance, Cutter had advocated, but with artificial expressions constructed according to formulas. Kaiser grudged natural language its approximateness, its vagaries, and its ambiguities. The formulas he introduced were to provide a "machinery for regularising or standardising language" (paragraph 67). Kaiser recognized three categories or "facets" of index terms: (1) terms of concretes, representing things, real or imaginary (e.g., money, machines); (2) terms of processes, representing either conditions attaching to things or their actions (e.g., trade, manufacture); and (3) terms of localities, representing, for the most part, countries (e.g., France, South Africa). Expressions in Kaiser's index language were called statements. Statements consisted of sequences of terms, the syntax of which was prescribed by formula. These formulas specified sequences of terms by reference to category types. Only three citation orders were permitted: a term in the concrete category followed by one in the process category (e.g., Wool-Scouring); (2) a country term followed by a process term (e.g., Brazil - Education); and (3) a concrete term followed by a country term, followed by a process term (e.g., Nitrate-Chile-Trade). Kaiser's system was a precursor of two of the most significant developments in twentieth-century approaches to subject access-the special purpose use of language for indexing, thus the concept of index language, which was to emerge as a generative idea at the time of the second Cranfield experiment (1966) and the use of facets to categorize subject indicators, which was to become the characterizing feature of analytico-synthetic indexing methods such as the Colon classification. In addition to its visionary quality, Kaiser's work is notable for its meticulousness and honesty, as can be seen, for instance, in his observations about the difficulties in facet definition.
