- Abstract
- Attention is drawn to the inadequacies of the existing classification schemes as pointed out by individuals and groups concerned with classification research. The article is based on an earlier study by the author, which identified and arranged in a filiatory way the main concepts of sociology and determined their relative significance as headings in a classification scheme. The sociology schedule in the DDC was examined on the basis of 9 evaluation criteria, as e.g. arrangement of major categories, provision for main concepts, use of phrased headings instead of individual key terms, and scattering of related concepts in the schedule. It was found that a large number of the main concepts of sociology are either not represented in the schedule or mentioned in the scope note only along with the main headings. A table shows 100 main concepts of sociology arranged and classified within 10 major categories or sections, and their provision in the DDC. The study suggests that the DDC needs serious reconsideration with regard to the main headings/categories provided as class headings, terminology used for the concepts, the filiatory structure adopted, and the representation of the main concepts of sociology

- Abstract
- For digital information systems' design to continue to flourish, it would appear that we may need to incorporate a view of the social in our design efforts. While there are a variety of disciplines and viewpoints within the social sciences which might assist information system designers in an effort to achieve a wider perspective in design, the remainder of this paper will focus on one that seems particularly well-suited for this role, the sociology of knowledge

- Abstract
- Describes the implementation and acceptance of an electronic syllabus on the WWW for teaching sociology. The greatest potential of a teaching home page on the Internet lies in a synergy effect of 3 domains: WWW pages serve as administrative tools, as powerful research instruments, and as a tool skill to prepare students for their careers in public or private institutions. Uses the empirical example of an electronic syllabus to illuminate potentials, problems and the acceptance of the Internet as an extended sociology classroom by students

- Abstract
- Reports on the findings of a study conducted to identify the main concepts used in sociology according to their relative significance. A sample of 87 introductory textbooks of sociology was considered, chapter headings used in them were classified and 100 main concepts were identified. A scheme for their arrangement was suggested using 10 major categories. In order to compare the relative significance of each concept for use in the retrieval tools as headings, a proportion of a book used for a concept by all the authors in these books was added. This cumulative proportion has been termed the 'relative weight of a concept', which made it possible to arrange all the 100 concepts into three 'levels of significance categories'. Thus, 44 concepts have been identified as most significant concepts, 26 in the second level of significance, and 30 in the last category of relative significance, only for use as headings in the bibliographic information retrieval tools pertaining to sociology. The study concludes in that no bibliographic information storage and retrieval tool in the field of sociology can justify noninclusion as main headings, the most significant concepts identified, that appear in the first category of relative significance, as these seem to represent the core of the discipline

- Abstract
- Describes a study which examined the scholarly literature of sociology. Tens of thousands of references from monographs and leading academic journals were analyzed. The relative rankings of authors who were highly cited in the monographic literature did not change in the journal literature of the same period. However, there was only a small overlap between the most highly cited authors based on the journal sample and those based on the monograph sample. The lack of correlation suggests that there may be 2 distinct populations of highly cited authors

- Abstract
- This paper presents an evolving framework for human information behaviour, including information exploration, seeking, filtering, use and dissemination. It is based on empirical studies of human information behaviour in a variety of settings (Iivonen & Sonnenwald, 1998; Sonnenwald, 1993, 1995, 1996) and theories from a variety of research traditions, including information science, communication, sociology and psychology that inform our understanding of human information behaviour. I begin formulating the framework by discussing fundamental concepts, such as context, situation and social networks. Building on these concepts, I propose a series of propositions that strive to elucidate the framework. Key ideas in the framework include the introduction of the role of social networks in information exploration, and the concept of an `information horizon' in which we can act to explore information.

- Abstract
- Increasing use of qualitative data analysis software might interfere with both the art and science of qualitative research. Analysis of interviews with 12 qualitative researcherchers in sociology and in organizational behaviour show ehat these fears are exaggerated. Users of qualitative data analysis software in most cases use the computer as an organizational, time saving tool and take special care to maintain close relationships with both the data and the respondents. It is unclear whether or not the amount of time and affort saved by the computer enhance research activity

- Abstract
- Bradford's law is widely used in collection development to identify the most productive periodicals, but does nott take into account the variables of frequency of publication and number of years of publication during a particular time span. Hence not all periodicals necessarily have the same opportunity to publish relevant articles. To test this hypothesis, the productivity of American sociology periodicals during 1987-91 was analysed and shown to correlate with frequency of publication and number of years of publication, giving a more accurate representation than using Bradford's law as originally formulated

- Abstract
- Describes an experimental undergraduate seminar on the production and dissemination of scientific knowledge which takes a multidisciplinary approach, using case studies to draw together theoretical principles from library and information science, insights from the philosophy and sociology of science, issues in critical thinking and problem solving, and details on the construction and use of information retrieval systems. Offered as an elective course to juniors and seniors, at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at Illinois University at Urbana-Champaign, the course is designed to meet the needs of students who do not expect to become information professionals but who can benefit from a better understanding of the principles of scientific knowledge production and the cultivation of information retrieval skills

- Abstract
- The relationship between the practice of democracy and the use of new information technologies is dependent upon the technologies of communication and information, rules regarding their use and the nature of the entity making those rules. Since today developments in all three of these areas are turbulent, looks to social theory that deals with turbulence and chaos as a way of understanding the democratic potential in the qualitatively different network society. The literature drawn upon includes second-order cybernetics and chaos theory, organizational sociology, and the literature on the state. The concept of the autopoietic state is developed as a basis for determining appropriate communication policy principles for maximizing the democratic potential in the network environment

- Abstract
- Communcation theory attempts to systematise the knowledge generated in this field. Problems result from the variety of approaches used, based on sociology and semiotics; and from its roots in socio-historical developments, which have given rise to numerous schools of thought in the 20th century. These can be grouped thematically to provide a global framework, comprising: the communication process; messages; reception; and the social production of communication. Establishing common links between these partial views is one path towards developing an overall theory but this negates the innate complexity which is the essence of communication

- Abstract
- North American newspaper headings in 1992 and 1993 gave the concept of 'family' a great deal of coverage. The debate over 'family values', the Family Leave Bill in the US Congress, and the furor over 'Nannygate' converged together to put the spotlight on families and related topics. Family studies (sometimes called family science) is a broad category, covering diverse fields of study and practice such as family therapy, family sociology, family psychology, social work, population studies, anthropology, family law and other disciplines

- Abstract
- Is this book sociology, anthropology, or taxonomy? Sorting Things Out, by communications theorists Geoffrey C. Bowker and Susan Leigh Star, covers a lot of conceptual ground in its effort to sort out exactly how and why we classify and categorize the things and concepts we encounter day to day. But the analysis doesn't stop there; the authors go on to explore what happens to our thinking as a result of our classifications. With great insight and precise academic language, they pick apart our information systems and language structures that lie deeper than the everyday categories we use. The authors focus first on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), a widely used scheme used by health professionals worldwide, but also look at other health information systems, racial classifications used by South Africa during apartheid, and more. Though it comes off as a bit too academic at times (by the end of the 20th century, most writers should be able to get the spelling of McDonald's restaurant right), the book has a clever charm that thoughtful readers will surely appreciate. A sly sense of humor sneaks into the writing, giving rise to the chapter title "The Kindness of Strangers," for example. After arguing that categorization is both strongly influenced by and a powerful reinforcer of ideology, it follows that revolutions (political or scientific) must change the way things are sorted in order to throw over the old system. Who knew that such simple, basic elements of thought could have such far-reaching consequences? Whether you ultimately place it with social science, linguistics, or (as the authors fear) fantasy, make sure you put Sorting Things Out in your reading pile.

- Abstract
- As a result of the challenges of information processing as a 'tool science of the mind', interesting prospects are opening up for the social sciences in the fields of increasing user orientation, discovery of semantics in data and potential uses of computer networks. Such methodological trends are therefore becoming increasingly important which on the one hand take account of the complexity of social processes - in science as well - and on the other hand promote the formulation of theories. This paper will describe the state of social sciences, in particular sociology, in concrete terms and will examine potential solutions to problems of epistemology and research practice by means of specific examples
