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."

Rez. in: Knowledge organization 34(2007) no.1, S.58-60 (P. Buizza): "This Nuovo soggettario is the first sign of subject indexing renewal in Italy. Italian subject indexing has been based until now on Soggettario per i cataloghi delle biblioteche italiane (Firenze, 1956), a list of preferred terms and see references, with suitable hierarchical subdivisions and cross references, derived from the subject catalogue of the National Library in Florence (BNCF). New headings later used in Bibliografia nazionale italiana (BNI) were added without references, nor indeed with any real maintenance. Systematic instructions on how to combine the terms are lacking: the indexer using this instrument is obliged to infer the order of terms absent from the lists by consulting analogous entries. Italian libraries are suffering from the limits of this subject catalogue: vocabulary is inadequate, obsolete and inconsistent, the syndetic structure incomplete and inaccurate, and the syntax ill-defined, poorly explained and unable to reflect complex subjects. In the nineties, the Subject Indexing Research Group (Gruppo di ricerca sull'indicizzazione per soggetto, GRIS) of the AIB (Italian Library Association) developed the indexing theory and some principles of PRECIS and drew up guidelines based on consistent principles for vocabulary, semantic relationships and subject string construction, the latter according to role syntax (Guida 1997). In overhauling the Soggettario, the National Library in Florence aimed at a comprehensive indexing system. (A report on the method and evolution of the work has been published in Knowledge Organization (Lucarelli 2005), while the feasibility study is available in Italian (Per un nuovo Soggettario 2002). Any usable terms from the old Soggettario will be transferred to the new system, while taking into consideration international norms and interlinguistic compatibility, as well as applications outside the immediate library context. The terms will be accessible via a suitable OPAC operating on the most advanced software.
Thesaurus software is based on AgroVoc (http:// www.fao.org/aims/ag_intro.htm) provided by the FAO, but in modified form. Many searching options and contextualization within the full hierarchies are possible, so that the choice of morphology and syntax of terms and strings is made easier by the complete overview of semantic relationships. New controlled terms will be available soon, thanks to the work in progress - there are now 13,000 terms, of which 40 percent are non-preferred. In three months, free Internet access by CD-ROM will cease and a subscription will be needed. The digital version of old Soggettario and the corresponding unstructured lists of headings adopted in 1956-1985 are accessible together with the thesaurus, so that the whole vocabulary, old and new, will be at the fingertips of the indexer, who is forced to work with both tools during this transition period. In the future, it will be possible to integrate the thesaurus into library OPACs. The two parts form a very consistent and detailed resource. The guide is filled with examples; the accurate, clearly-expressed and consistent instructions are further enhanced by good use of fonts and type size, facilitating reading. The thesaurus is simple and quick to use, very rich, albeit only a prototype; see, for instance, a list of DDC numbers and related terms with their category and facet, and then entries, hierarchies and so on, and the capacity of the structure to show organized knowledge. The excellent outcome of a demanding experimentation, the intended guide welcomes in a new era of subject indexing in Italy and is highly recommended. The new method has been designed to be easily teachable to new and experimented indexers.
Now BNI is beginning to use the new language, pointing the way for the adoption of Nuovo soggettario in Italian libraries: a difficult challenge whose success is not assured. To name only one issue: including all fields of study requires particular care in treating terms with different specialized meanings; cooperation of other libraries and institutions is foreseen. At the same time, efforts are being made to assure the system's interoperability outside the library world. It is clear that a great commitment is required. "Too complex a system!" say the naysayers. "Only at the beginning," the proponents reply. The new system goes against the mainstream, compared with the imitation of the easy way offered by search engines - but we know that they must enrich their devices to improve quality, just repeating the work on semantic and syntactic relationships that leads formal expressions to the meanings they are intended to communicate - and also compared with research to create automated devices supporting human work, for the need to simplify cataloguing. Here AI is not involved, but automation is widely used to facilitate and to support the conscious work of indexers guided by rules as clear as possible. The advantage of Nuovo soggettario is its combination of a thesaurus (a much-appreciated tool used across the world) with the equally widespread technique of subject-string construction, which is to say: the rational and predictable combination of the terms used. The appearance of this original, unparalleled working model may well be a great occasion in the international development of indexing, as, on one hand, the Nuovo soggettario uses a recognized tool (the thesaurus) and, on the other, by permitting both pre-coordination and post-coordination, it attempts to overcome the fragmentation of increasingly complex and specialized subjects into isolated, single-term descriptors. This is a serious proposition that merits consideration from both theoretical and practical points of view - and outside Italy, too."

Abstract

The International Encyclopedia of Information and Library Science was first published in 1997, and has become the major reference work in its field. This thoroughly revised and updated edition takes full account of the radical changes which have taken place since it was originally conceived. With almost 600 A-Z entries, written by a global team of over 180 contributors, the subject matter ranges from mobile library services provided by camel and donkey transport to search engines, portals and the World Wide Web. The entries fall into four categories: - Conceptual entries explore and explicate all the major issues, theories and activities in information and library science, such as the economics of information and information management. Key features of this edition include a wholly new entry an information systems, and enhanced entries an the information professions and the information society. - Topical entries deal with more specific subjects, such as collection management and information services for minority groups. New or completely revised entries include a group of entries an information law, and a collection of entries an the Internet, the World Wide Web and the theory and application of information systems. - Terminological entries define key terms in the field: from 'almanac' to 'workstation', 'information architecture' to 'spam'. - Biographical entries examine the life and work of key figures for information and library science - such as Turing, Gadamer, Gutenberg, Leibniz and Dewey - many of whom have become synonymous with the contributions which they have made to the discipline. All the longer entries are fully supported by references and suggestions for further reading. And with its comprehensive index and substantial cross-referencing, this new edition of the International Encyclopedia of Information and Library Science is destined to remain an invaluable tool both for reference and as a starting point for more in-depth study.

Rez. in: Mathematical intelligencer 27(2005) no.2, S.80-81 (J.P. Ladwig u. E.B. Williams): "This book deals with the basic tools and skills needed in the mathematical laboratory." It is written not only for librarians, but more importantly for undergraduates doing mathematical research, for graduate students, and for faculty exploring new areas. This is the 66th volume of Dekker's Books in Library and Information Science. It is divided into two parts, "Tools and Strategies," and "Recommended Reading by Subject," and it has two indexes: author and subject. The first place a seasoned mathematician is likely to browse is Part II, "Recommended Readings by Subject," just to check the list of resources for his or her subject. The subjects included are: History of mathematics Number theory Combinatorics Abstract algebra Algebraic and differential geometry Real and complex analysis Differential equations Topology Probability theory and stochastic processes Numerical analysis Mathematical biology Mathematics education NOTE: We understand from the editor that contributors for other subjects (like mathematical logie) would have been welcome. Each subject is given a chapter written by a mathematician and/or a mathematics librarian. Each entry gives enough information to locate and even order the resource, and often a one- or two-sentence description. The emphasis is an books, but key journals and on-line resources are also indicated. The chapters generally contain an introduction, a section an general sources, and then sections for the major subdivisions of a field. Sections often refer to general texts, and then further refine the subdivision. For example, the chapter an topology by Alan Hatcher contains a section an introductory books, then sections an algebraic topology, manifold theory, low-dimensional topology, history, and other resources. The section an manifold theory, for example, discusses differential topology, piecewise-linear topology, topological manifolds, and surgery theory.
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."

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.

Entgegen der vom Verlag mit der vorliegenden elektronischen Ausgabe propagierten Wissenskompensation als Subsumierung des »gesamten Wissens des 19. Jahrhunderts«, geht es - auch in der digitalen Aufbereitung - in erster Linie um eine gewaltige Kartierungsmaßnahme von Wissen als einer großen enzyklopädischen Momentaufnahme nach 1900: Alle als relevant eingestuften Episteme wurden erfasst, Lemmata laufend ergänzt und fortgeschrieben. Flexibler Umfang durch Supplemente und innovative mediale Aufbereitung durch Bilder, Karten u. ä. variieren und sind dabei meist von ungezwungener Offenheit. So lässt sich sagen, dass wenn es das Internet um 1900 bereits gegeben hätte, es in Form und Anlage in diesem Konversationslexikon gespiegelt abgebildet worden wäre: Meyers Großes KonversationsLexikon in seiner 6. Auflage ist als eine digital aufbereitete Ressource ein wahrer Solitär. Hier liegt ein wirkliches >Museum des Wissens< von tadelloser Organisation vor."

Abstract

The Thesaurus of ERIC Descriptors, 14th Edition 2001, has been developed under the auspices of the Educational Resources Information Center (ERIC) of the National Library of Education, Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), U.S. Department of Education. Its content reflects ERIC's 34 years of monitoring the educational literature. This 14th edition is the result of ERIC's continued efforts to maintain quality in its controlled vocabulary and to respond to the changing nature of education. As in previous editions, the Thesaurus reflects ERIC's response to the needs of the educational user community. ERIC remains committed to maintaining a Thesaurus that represents the definitive vocabulary for education. The 2001 edition contains 10,773 vocabulary terms, of which 5,963 are main-entry Descriptors and 4,810 are non-indexable USE references or "Dead" terms. New terms not appearing in previous editions include 206 Descriptors and 210 USE references. This edition also reflects several hundred Scope Notes and Cross-reference modifications to earlier Descriptor displays. Again as in the past, the Thesaurus revision has been made possible by the joint efforts and sound judgments of personnel throughout the entire ERIC system responding to both the literature and the users in the field. ERIC vocabulary coordinators, who, as members of the systemwide "Vocabular Review Group," oversee this effort, are listed below.

Abstract

Wer wissen will, wie alt ein Wort ist, woher es stammt, welche Bedeutung es ursprünglich hatte und mit welchen anderen Wörtern es zusammenhängt, findet in diesem Nachschlagewerk präzise Angaben über "tó étymon", den "wahren Sinn eines Wortes". In über 8 000 Einträgen gibt das 'Etymologische Wörterbuch des Deutschen' Auskunft über den Grundwortschatz der deutschen Sprache: Herkunft, Entwicklung, Bedeutung und Verwandtschaft von rund 22 000 Wörtern werden erschlossen. Verzeichnet sind das erste Auftreten eines Wortes im Deutschen, verwandte Formen innerhalb des Germanischen, indoeuropäische Wurzeln, kurz die Ursprungsform. Oberregionale Ausdrücke der Umgangssprache fehlen ebensowenig wie fachsprachliche Begriffe oder geläufige Fremdwörter, die in ihre Ursprungssprache zurückverfolgt werden. Bedeutungshinweise verdeutlichen die semantischen Bezüge zwischen Sprach- und Gesellschaftsgeschichte. Ableitungen und Zusammensetzungen eines Stichworts sind mit Angabe ihres Erstbelegs aufgeführt. Innersprachliche Zusammenhänge und lauthistorische Gesetzmäßigkeiten eröffnen sich dadurch dem an Sprache interessierten Leser.
