    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
    Paul Erdös -- ein außerhalb von Mathematiker-Kreisen kaum bekannter Name. Doch der 1996 im Alter von 83 Jahren verstorbene Ungar gehört nicht nur zu den bedeutendsten Mathematikern des 20. Jahrhunderts, sondern war aufgrund seines recht eigentümlichen Wesens schon zu Lebzeiten eine Legende. Bis ins hohe Alter hinein stellte er sein Leben in den Dienst der Mathematik, so daß er nach "weltlichen" Bedürfnissen -- sowohl emotionaler als auch materieller Art -- keinerlei Verlangen verspürte. Während seiner letzten Jahre besaß er nur zwei Koffer mit Kleidern und wohnte bei befreundeten Kollegen, mit denen zusammen er meist 19 Stunden am Tag an Problemen aus den verschiedensten Bereichen arbeitete. Für seine Gastgeber bedeutete dies eine große Ehre, so daß über seine offensichtlichen Macken lächelnd hinweggesehen wurde: so war es Erdös von Kindesbeinen an gewohnt, bedient zu werden, und solch banale Dinge wie Duschen konnte er bis an sein Lebensende nicht normal benutzen. Angesichts dieser "Eigenheiten" vergißt man jedoch gerne die andere Seite des Paul Erdös, die des Mentors für eine ganze Generation von Mathematikern: er besaß das Geschick, Talente behutsam zu fördern und verunsicherte Kollegen wieder aufzubauen. Aber nicht nur Gleichgesinnten ließ er seine Hilfe zukommen, sondern allen Schwachen und Benachteiligten -- besonders Kinder (oder "Epsilons", wie er sie zu nennen pflegte) lagen ihm am Herzen. Urteil: Das Buch hinterläßt alles in allem einen guten Eindruck, doch gibt es einiges, was man sicherlich noch verbessern könnte. So sind die mathematischen Einschübe in meinen Augen nicht immer geeignet, um dem Leser die Materie näherzubringen -- sie stehen zu isoliert und bringen keine echten Einsichten in die Denkweise eines Mathematikers; außerdem wirken die dabei zum Teil auftauchenden sachlichen Fehler etwas störend. Glücklicherweise beschränkt sich Hoffmann in seinem Buch nicht nur auf Anekdoten -- wie es beim Lesen des ersten Kapitels den Anschein hat --, sondern präsentiert eine unterhaltsame Biographie Erdös', wobei er auch das Leben seiner engsten Freunde und die politischen Umstände näher beleuchtet. Außerdem wird versucht, einen groben Überblick über die letzten zweitausend Jahre Mathematik zu geben, was jedoch stellenweise etwas deplaziert wirkt. Leider kann ich nicht beurteilen, ob das von Hoffmann dargestellte Bild Erdös' -- das eines gutmütigen, aber skurrilen und in "freier Wildbahn" kaum überlebensfähigen Kauzes -- der Realität entspricht; doch falls dem so ist, kann man guten Gewissens zur Lektüre dieses Buches raten.

    Abstract
    Although a debate about the origins of the DDC has been going on for generations, historical consensus remains elusive. Contributes new information to the historiography on the origins of the Scheme, by (1) grounding an account of Melvil Dewey's thinking as he was crafting the Decimal Classification on an analysis of a larger body of sources than previous classification historians have consulted; and (2) by expanding and deepening historical understanding of the contextual forces influencing his decisions on the classification structure

    Abstract
    The acceptance of a traditional Cartesian epistemology confined Melvil Dewey and his classification to a narrow consideration of knowledge while assuming the necessity of a universal language to describe it. The result is that the DDC marginalizes groups and topics outside of canonical knowledge. A feminist critique of Dewey's introductions to DDC and examples from The Electronic Dewey illustrate this problem. By taking a poststructural perspective, variations becomes theoretically possible and necessary for ethical practice

    Abstract
    Although the basic structure of the DDC is as it was developed by its creator, Melvil Dewey, its modern form and workable mechanism for continuous revision is the legacy of Benjamin A. Custer. Custer's main contribution lay in resolving a conflict between 2 policies of schedule development that had reached crisis proportions when be became Editor in 1956: retention of numbers; and keeping pace with development of knowledge. Relates the steps taken by Custer, his complete revisions, his success in maintaining the integrity of subject relationships and the internationalization of Deqey leading to its continued success to the present day

    Abstract
    It is nearly a century since Paul Otlet and Henri LaFontaine suggested the Universal Decimal Classification; and Melvil Dewey allowed them to build on his Decimal Classification. Despite problems of a nature common to many organisations, the scheme is alive and about to enter a new period of regeneration. On the one hand, the UDC has not enjoyed the popular appeal which might arise from appearing as MARC data, and on the other it has been attacked by the theorists for its pretensions. However, it should be remembered that the Medium Edition is some three times larger than the DDC (with greater power of synthesis) and is available in 21 languages. With growing interest in and need for, knowledge structures, it would be tragic if the UDC were neglected. Future plans for the UDC is discussed, including the finalisation of a currently available "machine-readable, multilingual, authority file for UDC maintenance."

    Abstract
    The work of the Belgian internationalist and documentalist, Paul Otlet (1868-1944), and his colleagues in Brussles, forms an important and neglected part of the history of information science. They developed a complex of organizations that are similar in important respects functionally to contemporary hypertext/hypermedia systems. These organizations effectively provided for the integration on bibliographic, image and textual databases. Chunks of text on cards or separate sheets were created according to 'the monographic principle' and their physical organization managed by the UDC, created by the Belgians from Melvil Dewey's DDC. This article discusses Otlet's concept of the Office of Documentation and, as examples of an approach to actual hypertext systems, several special Offices of Documentation set up in the International Office of Bibliography. In his Traité de Documentation of 1934, one of the first systematic treatises on what today we would call information science, Otlet speculated imaginatively about telecommunications, text-voice conversion, and what is needed in computer workstations, though of course he does not use this terminology. By assessing how the intellectual paradigm of 19th century positivism shaped Otlet's thinking, this study suggests how, despite its apparent contemporaneity, what he proposed was in fact conceptually different from the hypertext systems that have been developed or speculated about today. Such as analysis paradoxically also suggests the irony that a 'deconstructionist' reading of accounts of theses systems might find embedded in them the postivist approach to knowledge that the system designers would seem on the face of it explicitely to have repudiated
