Abstract

Finally, Melvil Dewey fully revealed, in entertaining prose, built on rigorous and deep historical scholarship. This is the definitive biography we've missed for so long. It tells the story of an American archetype?a man imbued with the inventive curiosity, sexism, anti-Semitism, racism, type-A control-freakishness, and reform zeal so characteristic of the power brokers of his time and his nation. The result is a masterpiece of history. It appropriately bears the imprint of the library association he founded and nurtured and which was enlisted for years to coconspire to cover up the darker side of the old boy. Wiegand's (a Dewey historian) penetrating, provocative interpretations add to the readability and pleasure of this fine biography, even his highly arguable view that the persistence of Dewey's design for librarianship means it "will likely remain a marginal profession." To this member of the small club of holders of jobs Dewey once held, it is obvious that Wiegand's work can be used to make the opposite case as well: that it was Dewey who gave librarianship any hope at all of becoming central to modern American society. Either way, you should own and read this brilliant, comprehensive study of the biased crackpot genius to whom we librarians owe so much.?

Abstract

A system of library classification that flashed across the inquiring mind of young Melvil Louis Kossuth Dewey (known as Melvil Dewey) in 1873 is still the most popular classification scheme.. The modern library classification begins with Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). Melvil Dewey devised DDC in 1876. DDC has is credit of 128 years of boudless success. The DDC is being taught as a practical subject throughout the world and it is being used in majority of libraries in about 150 countries. This is the result of continuous revision that 22nd Edition of DDC has been published in July 2003. No other classification scheme has published so many editions. Some welcome changes have been made in DDC 22. To reduce the Christian bias in 200 religion, the numbers 201 to 209 have been devoted to specific aspects of religion. In the previous editions these numbers were devoted to Christianity. to enhance the classifier's efficiency, Table 7 has been removed from DDC 22 and the provision of adding group of persons is made by direct use of notation already available in schedules and in notation -08 from Table 1 Standard Subdivision. The present book is an attempt to explain, with suitable examples, the salient provisions of DDC 22. The book is written in simple language so that the students may not face any difficulty in understanding what is being explained. The examples in the book are explained in a step-by-step procedure. It is hoped that this book will prove of great help and use to the library professionals in general and library and information science students in particular.

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.
