Abstract

This paper discusses the development of descriptive cataloging from 1830 to 1908 and focuses on the careers of Antonio Panizzi, Charles Coffin Jewett, and Charles Ammi Cutter and the development of the American Library Association (ALA) and the Library Association of the United Kingdom (LAUK). It analyzes the various rules and codes put forth by both Americans and British librarians and the eventual cooperation between the United States and the United Kingdom.

Abstract

An overview of the FRBR model, and how it can improve access to information through the helpful organization of metadata records. What is FRBR, and why is everyone talking about it? Is it really going to revolutionize cataloguing? And if so, what form will it take? This book is written for librarians, bibliographic systems designers, library and information science faculty and students, and anyone else who is interested in learning about the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and how following the FRBR model can improve access to information through helpful organization of the metadata records that are surrogates for information resources. Serials, art, music, moving images, maps, and archival materials are just a few of the formats covered. Not for catalogers only!

Resonanz: "Arlene Taylor and her compadres don't even try to teach you how to construct a hierarchical record. Instead, they direct their efforts toward showcasing what's possible when digital technology and traditional cataloging practice meet. This is the future of cataloging." - Library Media Connection "The emergence of this textbook is testimony to the breadth and depth of work done to date. It documents much of that work, and provides a good basic introduction to FRBR that is broadly understandable... The relational concepts within FRBR are complicated and can be challenging. This book does a good job of illuminating them in a straightforward manner. It also describes how the application of the FRBR concepts could improve our systems of bibliographic access in very specific ways... For those of us that really want or need to be able to predict the impact that FRBR will have on our work, this is an accessible explanation of the current state of the art. As such it is a real contribution to our understanding." - TechKNOW "Understanding FRBR... features chapters contributed by leading authorities in the cataloging field... It offers a basic introduction to FRBR, discussions about FRBR, FRAD (functional requirements for authority data), and RDA (resource description and access), and the issues involved in using FRBR in nontraditional library settings such as with cartographic materials and music. Both books are well illustrated and include numerous bibliographical resources.' [Reviewed in conjuntion with FRBR: A Guide for the Perplexed]." - Library Journal "Taylor and her contributors cover FRBR and introduce the reader to FRAD as well... All chapters conclude with current and useful references to further reading and more information." - Booklist "Understanding FRBR is clearly written, well illustrated (many of the concepts are clarified by very helpful diagrams), and well indexed; additionally, chapters feature extensive bibliographies, many of which provide URLs to the IFLA groups' documents. While it may seem that this book is of interest only to catalogers, the application of FRBR will change the structure of catalog and the systems used to store and display it; therefore, it is an important text for systems librarians, reference librarians, and anybody else interested in the future of the organization and display of bibliographic information." - College & Research Libraries "Understanding FRBR is a useful and timely book that brings together recent developments in FRBR and offers several assessments of it." - Technicalities "No cataloguer, bibliographic systems designer or library and information science lecturers and students should be without this book. It is a useful resource in acquiring an understanding of what FRBR is about and how it will change the way in which cataloguers will think about cataloguing in future." - The Electronic Library

Abstract

The catalog is the enduring means of access to information about the collection of a library. Without such information, use of a library would be limited to browsing the shelves in hopes of finding materials of interest. Hanson and Daily trace the development of catalogs from ancient times to the middle of the twentieth century. In parallel they also trace the history of cataloging rules and principles through the many codes of practice that have been developed over the years. The authors' speculation on what computerized catalogs might be like in the future, once developed, provides an interesting sidelight on the thinking of the era preceding the automation of catalogs.

Abstract

An explanation of where FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records) comes from, given by a look at the work of librarians such as Panizzi, Cutter, Ranganathan, and Lubetzky, and an examination of four themes in the history of library cataloging: the use of axioms to explain the purpose of catalogs, the importance of user needs, the idea of the "work," and standardization and internationalization.

Abstract

This article discusses cataloging and classification history in Mexico and how cataloging and classification have evolved according to the changes that libraries and library science have experienced on both a national and international level. The first part of the article refers to the first half of the twentieth century, detailing the origins of cataloging and classification history. The second part presents discussion of the development and consolidation of both cataloging and classification during the second half of the twentieth century. The article also discusses subject headings, automation, centralization, and union catalogs in Mexico. It discusses past difficulties in creating a union catalog at a national level and the advantages of automated systems in helping to develop this needed union catalog. The article discusses the need to resume publication of the Bibliografía Mexicana. One of the main problems that Mexican libraries have faced is a scarcity of librarians adequately prepared to perform cataloging and classification of their collections. This lack of librarians is even more acute in the Mexican states. There are insufficient numbers of students in library schools to provide the staffing that libraries demand not only for cataloguing and classification but also for many other library activities.

Abstract

This article consists of three parts: (1) Introduction, (2) Cataloging and classification of manuscripts, and (3) Cataloging and classification of printed matters in Iran. In the introduction, after a short review of Iranian libraries, the historical background of Fihrist is touched upon. In the second section, the historical development of cataloging of manuscripts is discussed, emphasising the catalogs of manuscripts of the Parliament, Astani Qods, and the National Library as examples. In the third section, the history of cataloging and classification of printed books in modern times is reviewed: This event was initiated in Iran through formal and informal courses taught mainly by foreign lecturers. The initiation of the MLS degree at the University of Tehran and the establishment of TEBROC paved the way for standard rules and methods. With the amalgamation of TEBROC in the National Library, modern ways and means were developed more rapidly, hence computerization of cataloging, CIP, and IRANMARC.

Abstract

From a historical perspective, one could consider the modern library catalog to be that bibliographical apparatus that stretches at least from Thomas Hyde's catalog for the Bodleian Library at Oxford to the near present. Mai and other recent authors have suggested postmodern approaches to knowledge organization. In these, we realize that there is no single and unique order of knowledge or documents but rather there are many appropriate orders, all of them contextually dependent. Works (oeuvres, opera, Werke, etc.), as are musical works, literary works, works of art, etc., are and always have been key entities for information retrieval. Yet catalogs in the modern era were designed to inventory (first) and retrieve (second) specific documents. From Hyde's catalog for the Bodleian until the late twentieth century, developments are epistemologically pragmatic--reflected in the structure of catalog records, in the rules for main entry headings, and in the rules for filing in card catalogs. After 1980 developments become empirical-reflected in research conducted by Tillett, Yee, Smiraglia, Leazer, Carlyle, and Vellucci. The influence of empiricism on the pragmatic notion of "the work" has led to increased focus on the concept of the work. The challenge for the postmodern online catalog is to fully embrace the concept of "the work," finally to facilitate it as a prime objective for information retrieval.

Abstract

From a historical perspective, one could consider the modern library catalog to be that bibliographical apparatus that stretches at least from Thomas Hyde's catalog for the Bodleian Library at Oxford to the near present. Mai and other recent authors have suggested postmodern approaches to knowledge organization. In these, we realize that there is no single and unique order of knowledge or documents but rather there are many appropriate orders, all of them contextually dependent. Works (oeuvres, opera, Werke, etc.), as are musical works, literary works, works of art, etc., are and always have been key entities for information retrieval. Yet catalogs in the modern era were designed to inventory (first) and retrieve (second) specific documents. From Hyde's catalog for the Bodleian until the late twentieth century, developments are epistemologically pragmatic--reflected in the structure of catalog records, in the rules for main entry headings, and in the rules for filing in card catalogs. After 1980 developments become empirical-reflected in research conducted by Tillett, Yee, Smiraglia, Leazer, Carlyle, and Vellucci. The influence of empiricism on the pragmatic notion of "the work" has led to increased focus on the concept of the work. The challenge for the postmodern online catalog is to fully embrace the concept of "the work," finally to facilitate it as a prime objective for information retrieval.

Abstract

This report constitutes Phase I of a two-part study; a Phase II report will discuss subject cataloging. Phase I is concerned with the materials of a library as individual records (or documents) and as representations of certain works by certain authors--that is, with descriptive, or bibliographic, cataloging. Discussed in the report are (1) the history, role, function, and oblectives .of the author-and-title catalog; (2) problems and principles of descriptive catalogng, including the use and function of "main entry, the principle of authorship, and the process and problems of cataloging print and nonprint materials; (3) organization of the catalog; and (4) potentialities of automation. The considerations inherent in bibliographic cataloging, such as the distinction between the "book" and the "work," are said to be so elemental that they are essential not only to the effective control of library's materials but also to that of the information contained in the materials. Because of the special concern with information, the author includes a discussion of the "Bibliographic Dimensions of Information Control," 'prepared in collaboration with Robert M. Hayes, which also appears in "American Documentation," VOl.201 July 1969, p. 247-252.

Abstract

With a long history, cataloging has evolved with changes in society, economy, and technology in China. This paper presents Chinese cataloging history in four parts, with emphasis on the last two parts: the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949 and the development of cataloging after 1979 when China opened its doors to the world. Particularly important has been the rapid growth of online cataloging in recent years. The China Academic Library and Information System (CALIS), as a successful online cataloging model, is emphasized. Through investigation of the entire history of Chinese cataloging, three distinct features can be stated: (1) Standardization- switching from the Chinese traditional way to aligning with international standards, (2) Cooperation-from decentralized and self-supporting systems to sharing systems, (3) Computerization and networking-from manual operation to computer-based online operation. At the end of this paper, a set of means by which to enhance online cataloging and resource sharing is suggested.

Abstract

In 1943 the Japanese League of Young Librarians published Nippon Catalog Rules (NCR1942) based on ALA 1908, and adopted the author main-entry system for Japanese and Western materials. After World War II, the Japan Library Association (JLA) compiled and published NCR1952, based on ALA 1949 and LC 1949 but maintained the author main-entry system. The main-entry system was then replaced by an alternative heading method, which came to be known as the Description-Independent-System (DIS). NCR1965 adopted the main entry principle, which was based on the Paris Principles of 1961. NCR1977 was compiled and published by the JLA Cataloging Committee and based upon a "no-main-entry principle." Then in 1987, the Committee published the standard edition of the rules, which was completely compatible with the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD). NCR1987R was published in 1994 and NCR1987R01 in 2001, which included revised "Chapter 9: Computer Files," devised according to ISBD(ER).

Abstract

Bibliotheken haben durch die Jahrhunderte Bücher gesammelt und aufbewahrt, sie geordnet und zugänglich gemacht. Aus der chaotischen Mannigfaltigkeit der Bücher haben sie ein organisiertes Universum geschaffen, das planvolles Studieren ermöglicht. Das hat ihnen neben Bewunderung und Passion auch fanatischen Hass und den Verdacht eingetragen, der staubige Ort zu sein, wohin die Bücher gehen, um zu sterben. Matthew Battles, der Verfasser dieser einzigartigen Geschichte der Bibliomanie, ist beides: ein großer Freund der Bücher und der Bibliotheken.In sieben Kapiteln nimmt er den Leser mit auf eine Zeitreise durch Paläste und Ruinen des Wissens, von der Bibliothek in Alexandria über Klosterzellen bis zur British Library, von Privatbibliotheken und sozialistischen Lesesälen bis ins Informationszeitalter. Die Geschichte der Bibliotheken ist auch die Geschichte des menschlichen Versuchs, Ordnung in die Welt zu bringen - und dessen letztendliches Scheitern.

Enthält u.a. Ausführungen zu den Katalogentwicklungen von Panizzi und Dewey: "Panizzi machte sich sofort an jene Arbeit, die ihm einen bedeutenden Platz in der Geschichte der British Library sichern sollte: das Katalogisieren der Bestände. Der erste gedruckte Katalog der Bibliothek, der 1810 erschienen war, umfasste sieben Bände. Wie bei allen Katalogen dieser Zeit handelte es sich um eine einfache alphabetische Auflistung der Bücher in der Bibliothek, die den Bibliothekaren als Bestandsverzeichnis der Bücher ihrer Abteilung diente. Die meisten Bibliotheken schlossen jedes Jahr für einige Wochen, um den Bibliothekaren die Möglichkeit zu geben, die Liste durchzugehen und zu prüfen, ob jedes Buch noch an seinem Platz in den Regalen stand. Für mehr waren die Kataloge nicht vorgesehen. Schließlich kamen die Leser generell gut vorbereitet in die Bibliothek; sie wussten, welche Bücher sie sich ansehen und was sie darin finden wollten."

Der erste Hauptteil 'Um 1800' versucht daraufhin, mit einem Bruch in der Anwendungsweise des Gessnerschen Verfahrens dessen erste Diskontinuität nachzuweisen. Nicht zuletzt wegen dieses Einschnitts muß die Art der Verzeichnung bis dato das Attribut vorläufig tragen. Die Verzettelungstechnik gelangt von einem temporären Gebrauch zur dauerhaften Verwendung, was dadurch eine ebenso unbeabsichtigte wie folgenreiche Umstellung markiert. Gleichzeitig entsteht hiermit der bibliothekshistorisch erste Zettelkatalog, dessen unverhoffter Einsatz und Genese in Wien um 1780 eine detaillierte Beschreibung erfährt. Der Zettelkatalog besteht nicht nur als bibliothekarische Antwort auf einen drohenden information overflow, sondern vor allem dank seiner umsichtigen Logistik. Entscheidend dabei sind schriftlich fixierte, genaue Handlungsanweisungen, anhand derer auch unausgebildetes Personal in den arbeitsteiligen Prozeß eingebunden werden kann. Mit Hilfe eines kleinen Exkurses soll zuvor jedoch die Koinzidenz zweier Adressierungslogiken untersucht werden: In einem Jahrzehnt und derselben Stadt fällt die Entstehung des Zettelkatalogs zusammen mit der Erfindung der Hausnummer. Damit etabliert sich eine Möglichkeit zur abstrakteren Repräsentation und zu einem kontrollierenden Zugriff auf Schriften bzw. Hausbewohner. Das anschließende dritte Kapitel verbleibt in der Umbruchphase um 1800, indem es eine notwendige Differenz zieht zwischen der Bibliothekstechnologie von vielen Schreib- für viele Lese-Köpfe und einer eigenwilligen Anordnung von gelehrten Exzerptensammlungen. Die Unterscheidung trennt ein Server-Konzept von einer Workstation-Philosophie. Der erste Zettelkatalog ist nicht nur das Produkt eines kollektiven Arbeitsprozesses, sondern vor allem für eine vielköpfige Benutzung geeignet und konzipiert. Im Gegensatz zu diesem Multi-User-System verwehrt die idiosynkratische Maschine in Form eines Gelehrtenkastens gerade jede fremde Einsichtnahme. Sie besitzt keine Vermittlungsnotwendigkeit, so daß sich das interne System der Verzeichnung durchaus unverständlich für alle Einsichtnehmenden ausnehmen darf. Auch eine Form von Datenschutz, die anhand der eigentümlichen gelehrten Exzerpiertechniken in einer kleinen Genealogie von Johann Jacob Moser bis zu Jean Paul und anderen konturiert wird. Das vierte und letzte Kapitel des ersten Teils widmet sich einer ersten Übertragung alteuropäischer Bibliothekstechnik in die Neue Welt. Das Zettelkastenprinzip erreicht einerseits die amerikanische Ostküste durch Bibliothekare, die in Europa studieren, um die dort etablierte Praxis der Katalogisierung auf ihre im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts schnell anwachsenden Büchersammlungen anzuwenden. Andererseits jedoch besitzen die Vereinigten Staaten auch eine eigene, autochthone Genealogie der Verzettelung. 1817 gelingt William Croswell bei seinem unglücklichen Projekt, der Harvard College Library einen umfassenden Katalog zu verschaffen, die Geburt des amerikanischen Zettelkatalogs aus dem Geiste der Faulheit.
Der zweite Hauptteil 'Um 1900' fokussiert den diskursiven Übertrag zwischen Bibliothek und Büro, der wiederum nicht von europäischen Bibliotheken ausgeht. Während diese noch ganz dem Streit um Katalog vs. Aufstellung verhaftet sind, gereicht die Initiative und Aufbruchstimmung um die amerikanische Bibliothekarsvereinigung und namentlich in Gestalt ihres Protagonisten Melvil Dewey zum Ausgangspunkt des wirkungsmächtigen Technologietransfers zwischen den Institutionen der Wissensverwaltung und der Wirtschaft. Schaltstelle dafür ist ein Gebilde, das nicht nur die Zielrichtung der institutionellen Übertragung bereits im eigenen Namen trägt, sondern sich überdies vom Ein-Mann-Betrieb zu einem Konzern entwickelt: das Library Bureau. Das sechste Kapitel verschreibt sich den Agenturen einer wiederum europäischen Verbreitung dieser Speichertechnologie, d.h. es gilt der Frage nachzugehen, welche Institutionen das Wissen um den Einsatz eines Zettelkatalogs und seiner Prämissen - allen voran weitestgehende Standardisierung - aufnehmen, um es als unabdingbare Grundlage der eigenen Arbeit zu lancieren. Im siebten und letzten Kapitel koppelt schließlich das Verfahren, listengesteuerte Verwaltungen auf Zettelbasis zu führen, an den organisatorischen Diskurs einer Arbeitswissenschaft an, die den Zettelkatalog als wirtschaftliche Optimierungsinstanz entdeckt und unter dem Namen Kartei zu einem vorrangigen Rationalisierungsinstrument entwickelt. Auf der Suche nach der ökonomischen Zeit, die mit der Rationalisierungsbewegung um 1920 große Aufmerksamkeit erfährt, versprechen sich die Verfechter der modernen Büroorganisation vom Zettelkasten als Stapelverarbeitung einhellig großen Gewinn, so daß eine schlichte, einstmalige Bibliothekstechnik zum neuen Paradigma einer buchhalterischen Arbeitsweise gerät. Am Ende dieser Geschichte steht ein Medienwechsel, der die Kartei als neuen Kulturträger propagiert, um das Buch zu verabschieden. Diese Studie, deren Raster bislang implizit mit dem Shannonschen Kommunikationsmodell skizziert wurde und darauf auch im weiteren Verlauf mit der Rede von Kanälen (und Strömen) rekurrieren wird, folgt diesem Modell ebenso in der dritten Instanz der Übertragung, der Störquelle zwischen Sender und Empfänger, um letztlich zu dem Schluß zu gelangen, daß das Rauschen recht behält: Diese Arbeit möchte daher immer auch die Momente der Irritation beobachten, die Störquellen, die eine Übertragung gefährden, die ein Risiko ins Spiel mit den Karten bringen. In welcher Position ist diese Stockung zu verorten? Mit welchen Sicherungsmaßnahmen gelingt es beispielsweise, der informationellen Entropie der Kartei, ihrem irreversiblen Durcheinander der Karten einstweilen Einhalt zu gebieten? An welchen neuralgischen Punkten finden Störungen immer wieder ihren Einsatz, um bisweilen nachhaltig die Übertragungen zu unterbrechen und ihrem Ende zuzuführen? Denn es scheint unvermeidlich, die Historie der Kartei als eine Geschichte des mannigfachen Scheiterns zu lesen. Die diskursiven Übertragungen, die Transfers zwischen den Institutionen und auch die Übertragung von Informationen innerhalb der Kartei-Anordnung sowie deren Implikationen konfigurieren gemeinsam die Geschichte der Kartei. Die vorliegende Arbeit will versuchen, diese Geschichte vom Material her zu schreiben. Das heißt zunächst, viele Stimmen zur Sprache kommen zu lassen, obgleich stets die Gefahr der unstimmigen Polyphonie droht. Ein schief singender Chor. Doch da die Aufgabe darin bestehen soll, Episoden einer Anordnung aus Zetteln und ihren jeweiligen Verknüpfungen zu verknüpfen, vertraut diese Studie dem Dispositiv für einmal und notiert das, was ihr der Zettelkasten diktiert.
