- Abstract
- The type and variety of information resources available on the Internet - the world-wide matrix of interconnected computer networks - is expanding at a phenomenal rate. Knowing where to turn for an authoritative guide to what is available and how to get it is a challenging enterprise, even for the most veteran of Internet searchers. The thousands of resources listed here (many of which point the user to hundreds and even thousands of other resources) make 'On Internet' the most comprehensive directory of Internet information anywhere

- Rez. in: Spektrum der Wissenschaft 2003, H.7, S.95-96 (E. Reinecke): "Mehr als zweihundert Jahre lang stellte der Star unter den Nachschlagewerken, die Encyclopaedia Britannica, sich selbst als echt britischen Luxusartikel dar, obgleich sie schon seit den 1930er Jahren in Chicago produziert wird. Nicht nur die edle Ausstattung der Bände selbst beeindruckte den Kunden; auch der persönliche Besuch eines Lexikonvertreters vermittelte das Gefühl, hier einen besonderen Kauf zu tätigen. Der stolze Preis passte in diesen Rahmen: Schon die bescheidenste Ausgabe des Prachtwerks kostete über 3000 DM. Dann kam das Internet, und alles wurde anders. In Gestalt der Microsoft Encarta trat 1992 ein großmächtiger Konkurrent mit niedrigen Preisen auf. Sie konnte zwar die Qualität der ehrwürdigen »Britannica« nicht erreichen; doch wie in anderen Fällen siegte Masse über Klasse. 1996 hatten sich die Verkaufszahlen der »Britannica« halbiert, auch die Produktion einer eigenen CD-Rom-Version konnte die Talfahrt nicht mehr aufhalten. Sie endete noch im selben Jahr mit dem Verkauf des Traditionsunternehmens an einen Schweizer Investor. Für Computer- und Internetfans folgte eine Ära der Freude: Die neuen Eigentümer passten sich dem Trend der Zeit an und gaben den Verkauf über Vertreter zu Gunsten der digitalen Version auf. Wer zu diesem Zeitpunkt die Britannica erwerben wollte, mußte sich mit einer Scheibe zufrieden geben oder den Weg ins World Wide Web gehen. Im Internet waren die Artikel zunächst sogar umsonst zu haben. Heute werden drei verschiedene CDRom-/DVD-Versionen angeboten, und die Website der Encyclopxdia Britannica ist allseits bekannt und beliebt - allerdings nicht mehr kostenlos zugänglich. Wer mehr als Appetithäppchen will, muss sich auf ein Abonnement einlassen. Dieses ist schnell und einfach abgeschlossen; die Kundenfreundlichkeit der Site und ihrer Betreiber ist durchaus bemerkenswert. Nachdem die Entwicklung der elektronischen Britannica schon so weit vorangetrieben war, gab der Verlag 2002 wieder eine neue Devise aus: »Back to the roots«. Nach vier Jahren rein digitaler Vermarktung kommt eine überarbeitete Neuauflage in gedruckter Form auf den Markt. Nun kann der geneigte Leser sich wieder am Anblick von fast anderthalb Metern Buch erfreuen und trotzdem auf dem letzten Stand sein - zumindest kurzfristig. In der Darstellung des deutschen Vertreibers sind gar die CD-Rom-Versioneu nur noch eine »Ergänzung« zum »repräsentativen gedruckten Erzeugnis«. Was kann einen deutschen Leser bewegen, sich der Sprachhürde zum Trotz für die Encyclopxdia Britannica zu entscheiden - egal ob digital oder gedruckt? Der Umfang ist in der Tat beeindruckend. Allein der zwölfbändige erste Teil, die »Micropxdia«, enthält bereits die Stichwortartikel eines kompletten Lexikons. Das richtig tief gehende Wissen (»Knowledge in Depth«) steht in der 17 Bände umfassenden »Macropxdia«. Auf durchschnittlich zwanzig, gelegentlich bis zu 300 Seiten findet der Leser eine Art Überblicksvorlesung zu Themen wie »Telekommunikation«, »Algebra« oder »Die Schweiz«. So wird der Nachschlagende im besten Sinne zum Studierenden. Insgesamt kommen über 65 000 Artikel mit mehr als 24 000 Fotos, Karten und Illustrationen zusammen. Zur Erschließung dieser Fülle gibt es einen zweibändigen Index der Luxusklasse: mit 700 000 Einträgen, die zum Stich wort nicht nur Band und Seitenzahl, sondern auch die Spalte und die - obere oder untere - Spaltenhälfte nennen.

- Rez. in: c't 2002, H.23, S.229 (T.J. Schult): "Mac-Anwender hatten bisher keine große Auswahl bei Multimedia-Enzyklopädien: entweder ein grottenschlechtes Kosmos Kompaktwissen, das dieses Jahr letztmalig erscheinen soll und sich dabei als Systhema Universallexikon tarnt. Oder ein Brockhaus in Text und Bild mit exzellenten Texten, aber flauer Medienausstattung. Die von Acclaim in Deutschland vertriebenen Britannica-Enzyklopädien stellen eine ausgezeichnete Alternative für den des Englischen Kundigen dar. Während früher nur Einfach-Britannicas auf dem Mac liefen, gilt dies nun für alle drei Versionen Student, Deluxe und Ultimate Reference Suite. Die Suite enthält dabei nicht nur alle 75 000 Artikel der 32 Britannica-Bände, sondern auch die 15 000 der Student Encyclopaedia, eines eigenen Schülerlexikons, das durch sein einfaches Englisch gerade für Nicht-Muttersprachler als Einstieg taugt. Wer es noch elementarer haben möchte, klickt sich zur Britannica Elementary Encyclopaedia, welche unter der gleichen Oberfläche wie die anderen Werke zugänglich ist. Schließlich umfasst die Suite einen Weltatlas sowie einsprachige Wörterbücher und Thesauri von Merriam-Webster in der Collegiate- und Student-Ausbaustufe mit allein 555 000 Definitionen, Synonymen und Antonymen. Wer viel in englischer Sprache recherchiert oder gar schreibt, leckt sich angesichts dieses Angebots (EUR 99,95) die Finger, zumal die Printausgabe gut 1600 Euro kostet. Die Texte sind einfach kolossal - allein das Inhaltsverzeichnis des Artikels Germany füllt sieben Bildschirmseiten. Schon die Inhalte aus den BritannicaBänden bieten mehr als doppelt so viel Text wie die rund tausend Euro kostende Brockhaus Enzyklopädie digital (c't 22/02, S. 38). Allein die 220 000 thematisch einsortierten Web-Links sind das Geld wert. Wer die 2,4 Gigabyte belegende Komplettinstallation wählt, muss sogar nie mehr die DVD (alternativ vier CD-ROMs) einlegen. Dieses Jahr muss sich niemand mehr mit dem Britannica-typischen Kuddelmuddel aus Lexikonartikeln und vielen, vielen Jahrbüchern herumschlagen - außer dem Basistext der drei Enzyklopädien sind 'nur' die zwei Jahrbücher 2001 und 2002 getrennt aufgeführt. Wer des Englischen mächtig ist, mag hier die gute Gelegenheit zum Kauf nutzen."

- Abstract
- From classification to knowledge organization through subject indexing the field has been so rapidly growing that it is difficult to demarcate its boundaries. Knowledge organization is viewed in the sense of conglomeration of activities to sort and order knowledge, to acquire, ufilize, evaluate, represent and communicate knowledge for problem solving. It has been no simple matter to decide what should be included in and excluded from such a dictionary. Broadly speaking the terms an the following topics are included in the work : Knowledge, Epistemology, Concepts, Terminology and Vocabulary control ; Classification systems, their design, theory and practice of classification, Subject analysis; fundamental categories and facets, Content and Text analysis, Use of classification in online systems and an the web. Subject cataloguing : subject headings, Thesauri and alphabetical indexing languages : Keyword, chain and string indexes, Knowledge representation, Classification for access and retrieval, Cognitive aspects of information- seeking behaviour, Automatic classification, Descriptive cataloguing : Theory, kinds, levels, standards and codes, OPACs, all are covered in this work. Like any other such work of this sort, it is an electic compilation. The work proposes to be descriptive rather than prescriptive. Endeavour is to find brief simple, logical and consensual meaning of terms, and append brief description of a concept or an issue with explanation, examples and comments in a bottom up way. Some current topics denoted by phrases have also been included. At times it may give the look of a concise encyclopaedic dictionary. Terms fully describe concepts and methods, and may evoke some thoughts an current and classic issues in the field.

- Footnote
- Part 1, "Tools and Strategies," contains three chapters. The first is a very interesting one an the culture of mathematics. For undergraduates who are thinking about advanced study (or for friends and family who are puzzled about what a mathematician does), this is a concise and even elegant overview. "Tools" continues with chapters an "Finding Mathematics Information" and an "Searching the Research Literature." Both chapters are written by experienced mathematics librarians and answer questions asked by those learning and studying mathematics. "Finding Mathematics Information" contains sixteen sections (too many to enumerate)-two of our favorites are "Locating Definitions and Basic Explanations" and "Finding or Verifying Quotations and Anecdotes." As with Part II, each entry contains complete bibliographic information with a one- or twosentence abstract. "Searching the Research Literature" contains five sections: introduction, strategies, finding journal articles using indexes, finding papers an the Web, and obtaining the resources found. This chapter is more of a discussion than a list of resources, but like the chapter an "Finding Mathematics Information" would be helpful for someone just beginning research in mathematics. Because this work is primarily arranged by discipline, it offers a different perspective than Nancy D. Anderson and Lois M. Pausch, editors, A Guide to Library Service in Mathematics (Greenwich, CT: JAI Press, Inc.), 1993. One might also consult the $65 book by Martha Tucker and Nancy Anderson, Guide to Information Sources in Mathematics and Statistics (Westport, CT: Libraries Unlimited), 2004. The book's major drawback is its price - 42c per page vs. 19c for Tucker and Anderson. However, it is still an important addition to your library's collection, a relevant resource for undergraduate and graduate student advisors, and perhaps a gift for the new librarian who will be working with your department."
