Abstract

This book tells the story of Emanuel Goldberg, a chemist, inventor, and industrialist who contributed to almost every aspect of imaging technology in the first half of the 20th century. An incredible story emerges as Buckland unearths forgotten documents and rogue citations to show that Goldberg created the first desktop search engine, developed microdot technology, and designed the famous Contax 35 mm camera. It is a fascinating tribute to a great mind and a crucial period in the history of information science and technology.

Abstract

What do primordial bacteria, medieval alchemists, and the World Wide Web have to do with each other? This fascinating exploration of how information systems emerge takes readers on a provocative journey through the history of the information age. Today's "information explosion" may seem like an acutely modern phenomenon, but we are not the first generation - nor even the first species - to wrestle with the problem of information overload. Long before the advent of computers, human beings were collecting, storing, and organizing information: from Ice Age taxonomies to Sumerian archives, Greek libraries to Dark Age monasteries. Today, we stand at a precipice, as our old systems struggle to cope with what designer Richard Saul Wurman called a "tsunami of data."With some historical perspective, however, we can begin to understand our predicament not just as the result of technological change, but as the latest chapter in an ancient story that we are only beginning to understand. Spanning disciplines from evolutionary theory and cultural anthropology to the history of books, libraries, and computer science, writer and information architect Alex Wright weaves an intriguing narrative that connects such seemingly far-flung topics as insect colonies, Stone Age jewelry, medieval monasteries, Renaissance encyclopedias, early computer networks, and the World Wide Web. Finally, he pulls these threads together to reach a surprising conclusion, suggesting that the future of the information age may lie deep in our cultural past. To counter the billions of pixels that have been spent on the rise of the seemingly unique World Wide Web, journalist and information architect Wright delivers a fascinating tour of the many ways that humans have collected, organized and shared information for more than 100,000 years to show how the information age started long before microchips or movable type. A self-described generalist who displays an easy familiarity with evolutionary biology and cultural anthropology as well as computer science and technology, Wright explores the many and varied roots of the Web, including how the structure of family relationships from Greek times, among others, has exerted a profound influence on the shape and structure of human information systems. He discusses how the violent history of libraries is the best lesson in how hierarchical systems collapse and give rise to new systems, and how the new technology of the book introduced the notion of random access to information. And he focuses on the work of many now obscure information-gathering pioneers such as John Wilkins and his Universal Categories and Paul Otlet, the Internet's forgotten forefather, who anticipated many of the problems bedeviling the Web today.

Rez. in: KO 33(2006) no.2, S. 120-121 (S. Ducheyne): "To the readers of this journal the founding founder of bibliography and information science, the Belgian Paul Otlet (1868-1944), ground-layer of the Universal Decimal Classification, anticipator of multimedia, virtual libraries, and the Internet, and co-inventor of the microfilm or, as it was originally called, "le Bibliophote" (p. 107) (an achievement he shares together with Robert Goldschmidt), scarcely needs introduction. Françoise Levie's new biography of Otlet embodies the research she has started with the production of the documentary of the same name (Sofidoc, 2002, 60 min.). It is impossible to give a chapter-bychapter overview of this informatively dense and beautifully illustrated book, which consists of twenty chapters, a concluding piece by Benoît Peeters, a very useful list and description of the pivotal figures in Otlet's life, and a list containing the locations of the sources consulted (an index is, unfortunately, not provided). I will therefore restrict myself by pointing to Levie's innovative contributions to our knowledge of Otlet and to topics that are of genuine interest to the readers of this journal. Levie's book is the result of a fascinating, worldwide quest into the remains of Otlet's work and his international connections. Ever since W Boyd Rayward's monumental 1975 The Universe of Information: The Work of Paul Otlet for Documentation and International Organization (Moscow: VINITI), this book is the second systematic survey of the Collections of the Mundaneum (now, after various peregrinations, preserved at Bergen/Mons, Belgium) (cf. pp. 339-340), which contains Otlet's private documents, the "Otletaneum". Sixty-eight unopened banana boxes were the main source of inspirations for Levie's research. Of special interest in this respect is Levie's discovery of Otlet's 1916 diary "le Cahier Blue". As these boxes were, at the time Levie conducted her research, not classified and as they were thereafter re-divided and re-classified, precise references to this collection are not provided and the text is simply quoted during the course of the book (p. 339). While this is perfectly understandable, I would have welcomed exact references to Otlet's main works such as, for instance, Traité de documentation and Monde, Essai d'universalisme which are also quoted without supplying further details.
Levie's focus is not exclusively on Otlet's contributions to bibliography and information science per se, but aims at offering a very complete, chronological overview of the life and work of Paul Otlet. Levie succeeds very well at documenting Otlet's personal and familial life, and offers ample socio-historical and political contextualisation of Otlet's activities (e.g. the interaction between Otlet's internationalist endeavours and the expansionist politics of King Leopold II (p. 59), and Otlet's ardent pacifism during World War I are relevantly highlighted (pp. 161176)). Levie begins by exploring Otlet's childhood days and by bringing into perspective some of the traits which are relevant to understand his later work. She shows how his father Edouard, an internationally active railway contractor, awoke a mondial awareness in the young Otlet (pp. 20-21) and how his encyclopaedic spirit for the first time found expression in a systematic inventory of the small Mediterranean isle his father bought (L'île du Levant, 1882) (p. 31). From the age of 16 Otlet suffered from a disorder of his literal memory (Otlet's personal testimony in the Cahier Blue, on p. 47), which might perhaps explain his lifelong obsession with completeness and accuracy. Of special interest to the readers of this journal are chapter 4, in which Otlet's and Henri Lafontaine's adaptation of Melvil Dewey's Decimal Classification and the origin of the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) is discussed in extenso (pp. 5170; also see chapter 6, p. 98 for Otlet's attempt at a universal iconographical index) and chapter 17, in which Traité de documentation (1934) is presented
(pp. 267-277). In chapter 5 (pp. 75-89), Levie discusses Otlet's interest in urbanism (also see, p. 147 ff) and recounts how in Westende he built from scratch a complete coastal village, a kind of miniutopia, in close collaboration with the architects Octave Van Rysselberghe and Henry Van de Velde (unfortunately, it was destroyed in 1914). In close connection to their pacifist ideals, Otlet and his Nobelprize winning co-worker Lafontaine sought to realize a World City and in 1911 saw their ambitions shared by the joint work of the French architect Ernest Hébrard and the American-Norwegian sculptor Hendrik Anderson (pp. 128-141). Later, in the late 1920s, Otlet joined forces with Le Corbusier to establish such a world-centre (pp. 229-247, a 1930 letter of Le Corbusier to Otlet on this matter is reproduced on pages 234-235). In his later moments of desperation, Otlet called on virtually every major political leader, including Mussolini, Franco, and Hitler to achieve this goal (pp. 217-218, p. 294). In these chapters related to architecture, Levie draws extensively on previously unstudied correspondence and adds much detail to our knowledge of Otlet's explorations in this area. In several other chapters, Levie documents in great detail the less unknown rise and downfall of Otlet's "Mondial Palace" (which was inaugurated in 1919) (chapters 12-14 and 16). Looking back on Otlet's endeavours it is not difficult to realize that many of his "utopian" ideas were realized in the course of history. Levie's unique work represents a most welcome update of our knowledge of Otlet. It bears direct relevance for historians of information science and bibliography and historians of architecture, but will, no doubt, attract many scholars from other disciplines, as it places Otlet against the background of several important historical trends and as it is very accessibly written. I take it that publishers are already preparing an English edition of this work - or else, they should be. I wholeheartedly agree with Levie's conclusion that we haven't finished discovering Otlet's work (p. 318)."

Rez. in: Mitteilungen der VÖB. 61(2008) H.1, S.79-81 (M. Katzmayr): "Was ist an einer Bibliothek bei Nacht besonderes? Für Alberto Manguel, der schon mehrmals, etwa mit "Eine Geschichte des Lesens", literatur- und buchgeschichtliche Expertise und bibliophile Leidenschaft bewiesen hat, ist die Nacht die Zeit des Lesens in seiner privaten Bibliothek. Wo tagsüber Systematik und Ordnung herrschten, könne sich nachts die Phantasie frei entfalten: "Die Geräusche werden gedämpft, die Gedanken lauter [...] Die Bücher sind jetzt die wahren Lebewesen, die mich, den Leser, durch die kabbalistischen Ri- tuale halbverschwommener Buchstaben heraufbeschwören und zu einen bestimmten Band, einer bestimmten Seite locken. Die Ordnung der Bibliothekskataloge ist in der Nacht nur Konvention; sie ist ohne Bedeutung irr Reich der Schatten." (22f.). Das vorliegende Werk ist allerdings mehr als eine emotionale und dichterische Liebeserklärung eines Bibliophilen an Bibliotheken im Allgemeiner bzw. an seine Privatbibliothek im Besonderen. Manguel versucht vielmehr die grundlegenden Beweggründe hinter dem unerlässlichen Sammeln unc Archivieren von Informationen zu entdecken; einem Sammeln, dass Sinr und Ordnung in die Welt tragen soll, letztlich aber - so seine pessimistisch( Vorwegnahme - zum Scheitern verurteilt sei. Zwischen dieser Frage und seiner sehr persönlichen Antwort in dei Schlussbemerkung liegt ein umfangreicher Essay, der in anekdotischer Art vorwiegend historische, literarische und philosophische Aspekte unterschiedlicher mit der Bibliothek verbundener Themenkreise behandelt. Sc wird die Bibliothek als Ordnung, Raum, Form, Macht, Identität, Werkstatt, Zuhause etc. einer eingehenden Betrachtung unterzogen. ... Egal wie diese letztlich ja nur scheinbare Kontroverse zwischen gedruckt und digital bewertet werden mag - dieses äußerst preiswerte, reich bebilderte und auch sonst sehr schön gestaltete Buch kann ohne Vorbehalt empfohlen werden. Wie gut, dass Manguel es tatsächlich geschrieben hat und es nicht nur in der Bibliothek ungeschriebener Bücher ein flüchtiges Dasein fristet. In diesem Fall wären nämlich selbst die Bemühungen eines wiederauferstandenen Paul Masson nur ein schwacher Trost."

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." (S.150)

Rez.: Deutschlandradio vom 24.3.2007 (Jörg Plath): "In Schriftkulturen verkörpern Bibliotheken das kollektive Gedächtnis einer Gesellschaft. Daher ist "Eine Geschichte der Bibliothek", wie sie Matthew Battles im Untertitel seines Buches "Die Welt der Bücher" verspricht, eine gewaltige Aufgabe. Man kann Battles nicht vorwerfen, an ihr gescheitert zu sein. Denn der Bibliothekar der US-amerikanischen Elite-Universität Harvard hat nicht einmal geahnt, was er da in Angriff nimmt. Unter einer "vollständigen Geschichte der Bibliothek" stellt er sich in positivistischer Naivität eine "Dokumentation aller jemals existiert habenden Bibliotheken, ihrer Orte und Formen" vor. Das ist natürlich unmöglich, weshalb Battles lieber nach jenen geschichtlichen Augenblicken suchen will, "in denen Leser, Autoren und Bibliothekare nach der eigentlichen Bedeutung der Bibliothek fragen. Nach der "eigentlichen" Bedeutung? Und warum fragen nach ihr nur die Buchliebhaber, die Leser, Autoren und Bibliothekare? Warum nicht die Macht, die Bibliotheken doch finanziert und schützt - und nicht selten auch zerstört? Battles' selektiver Streifzug durch die Jahrtausende wählt die üblichen, bekannten Stationen: Am Anfang steht die berühmte Bibliothek in Alexandria, dann folgen Aufstieg und Niedergang von Bibliotheken in Rom, in Klöstern, Universitäten und Nationalstaaten. Am Ende trauert Battles über den "Verlust der Bücher" durch das Internet. Mit einem sentimentalen Halbsatz handelt er also ab, was unter seinen Kollegen als Herausforderung der Zukunft gilt: die zunehmende Immaterialisierung des Wissens und der Umbau der Bibliotheken von Bücherdepots zu Informationsdienstleistern für alle denkbaren Medien.
