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.

Abstract

Many information professionals working in small units today fail to find the published tools for subject-based organization that are appropriate to their local needs, whether they are archivists, special librarians, information officers, or knowledge or content managers. Large established standards for document description and organization are too unwieldy, unnecessarily detailed, or too expensive to install and maintain. In other cases the available systems are insufficient for a specialist environment, or don't bring things together in a helpful way. A purpose built, in-house system would seem to be the answer, but too often the skills necessary to create one are lacking. This practical text examines the criteria relevant to the selection of a subject-management system, describes the characteristics of some common types of subject tool, and takes the novice step by step through the process of creating a system for a specialist environment. The methodology employed is a standard technique for the building of a thesaurus that incidentally creates a compatible classification or taxonomy, both of which may be used in a variety of ways for document or information management. Key areas covered are: What is a thesaurus? Tools for subject access and retrieval; what a thesaurus is used for? Why use a thesaurus? Examples of thesauri; the structure of a thesaurus; thesaural relationships; practical thesaurus construction; the vocabulary of the thesaurus; building the systematic structure; conversion to alphabetic format; forms of entry in the thesaurus; maintaining the thesaurus; thesaurus software; and; the wider environment. Essential for the practising information professional, this guide is also valuable for students of library and information science.

The next section collects three papers, all presented at the meeting by the people best placed to address the topics authoritatively and comprehensively. The first is by John D. Byrum, of the Library of Congress, and Chair of the ISBD Review Group, who clearly and concisely explains the history and role of the ISBDs in "IFLA's ISBD Programme. Purpose, process, and prospects." The next paper, "Brave new FRBR world" is by Patrick Le Boeuf, of the Bibliothèque nationale de France and Chair of the FRBR Review Group (a French version is available an the website). Drawing from his extensive expertise with FRBR, Le Boeuf explains what FRBR is and equally importantly is not, points to its impact in the present context of Code revision, and discusses insights relevant to the working group topics that can be drawn from FRBR. Closing this section is Barbara Tillett's contribution "A Virtual International Authority File," which signals an important change in thinking about international cooperation for bibliographic control. Earlier efforts focussed an getting agreement about form and structure of headings, this view stresses linking authority files to share the intellectual effort yet present headings to the user in the form that is most appropriate culturally.
Ton Heijligers reflects an the relation of the IME ICC effort to AACR and calls for an examination of the principles and function of the concept of main entry in his brief paper "Main entry into the future?" Ingrid Parent's article "From ISBD (S) to ISBD(CR): a voyage of discovery and alignment" is reprinted from Serials Librarian as it tells of the successful project not only to revise an ISBD, but also to harmonize three Codes for serials cataloguing: ISBD (CR), ISSN and AACR. Gunilla Jonsson's paper "The bibliographic unit in the digital context" is a perceptive discussion of level of granularity issues which must be addressed in deciding what to catalogue. Practical issues and user expectation are important considerations, whether the material to be catalogued is digital or analog. Ann Huthwaite's paper "Class of materials concept and GMDs" as well as Tom Delsey's ensuing comments, originated as Joint Steering Committee restricted papers in 2002. It is a great service to have them made widely available in this form as they raise fundamental issues and motivate work that has since taken place, leading to the current major round of revision to AACR. The GMD issue is about more than a list of terms and their placement in the cataloguing record, it is intertwined with consideration of whether the concept of classes of materials is helpful in organizing cataloguing rules, if so, which classes are needed, and how to allow for eventual integration of new types of materials. Useful in the Code comparison exercise is an extract of the section an access points from the draft of revised RAK (German cataloguing rules). Four short papers compare aspects of the Russian Cataloguing Rules with RAK and AACR: Tatiana Maskhoulia covers corporate body headings; Elena Zagorskaya outlines current development an serials and other continuing resources; Natalia N. Kasparova covers multilevel structures; Ljubov Ermakova and Tamara Bakhturina describe the uniform title and GMD provisions. The website includes one more item by Kasparova "Bibliographic record language in multilingual electronic communication." The volume is rounded out by the appendix which includes the conference agenda, the full list of participants, and the reports from the five working groups. Not for the casual reader, this volume is a must read for anyone working an cataloguing code development at the national or international levels, as well as those teaching cataloguing. Any practising cataloguer will benefit from reading the draft statement of principles and the three presentation papers, and dipping into the background papers."

Abstract

This revised edition of Wynar's Introduction to Cataloging and Classification (9th ed., 2000) completely incorporates revisions of AACR2, enhancements to MARC 21, and developments in areas such as resource description and access. Aside from the many revisions and updates and improved organization, the basic content remains the same. Beginning with an introduction to cataloging, cataloging rules, and MARC format, the book then turns to its largest section, "Description and Access." Authority control is explained, and the various methods of subject access are described in detail. Finally, administrative issues, including catalog management, are discussed. The glossary, source notes, suggested reading, and selected bibliography have been updated and expanded, as has the index. The examples throughout help to illustrate rules and concepts, and most MARC record examples are now shown in OCLC's Connexion format. This is an invaluable resource for cataloging students and beginning catalogers as well as a handy reference tool for more experienced catalogers.

Abstract

After 25 years of service, this professional text has been updated in line with developments in the field of library science. Since the seventh edition of this standard text was published in 1985, there have been changes in virtually every area of bibliographic control. "AACR2 Revised" (AACR2R) has been implemented; new editions of or supplements to LCSH, LC classification, and DDC, and "Sears" have appeared; OCLC has adopted the PRISM format; and networking and online catalogues have become a way of life. Taylor addresses these and other changes in this edition. Consequently, many chapters of this text are entirely new, such as "Cataloguing in Context" and "Subject Arrangement of Library Materials", or fully revised such as "Development of Cataloguing Codes", which has been expanded to show the continuity in the development leading to publication of AACR2R. Two appendices have been added: an introduction to USMARC format and instructions for typing catalogue cards, including a detailed analysis of the punctuation and spacing to be used when conforming to the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD).

Dieses Diktum markiert den vorläufigen Endpunkt einer Entwicklung, an deren Gipfel für kurze Zeit (von ca. 1920 bis in die 60er Jahre; »Einen Staat lang«) die bürokratische Papiermaschine namens Kartei residiert. Ihren weiten Herrschaftskreis dokumentieren die zahlreichen, neu entstandenen Zeitschriften für Bürobedarf und -organisation. Die vorliegende Studie will versuchen nachzuzeichnen, wie sich die Kartei auf jedem Schreibtisch um 1930 zu etablieren, wie sie ins Zentrum der organisatorischen Aufmerksamkeit zu rücken versteht. Zwar nimmt sich die Kartei rein äußerlich eher unscheinbar aus neben der filigranen Imposanz einer Schreibmaschine, jedoch behauptet sie ebenso beharrlich ihren Platz durch das mitgegebene Versprechen der Universalität. Auf welchen Errungenschaften gründet sich dieser Anspruch? Vor welcher Schablone vermag sich die Papiermaschine abzuheben? Aus welchen Wurzeln entwickelt sich dieses System der Verzeichnung? Die Behauptung einer universalen Papiermaschine und eine erste Suche nach ihrem Grund und Ursprung legt den Verdacht nahe, daß diese papierene Anordnung Vorbild und Vorgänger in einem ebenfalls aus Kasten und Zetteln bestehenden Dispositiv findet, die hinlänglich vertraute, heute bald schon verschwundene Suchmaschine einer Bibliothek namens Zettelkatalog. Die Genealogie der Kartei als eine Speichertechnologie gehorcht, so die Grundthese, einer vielfachen Übertragung. Als chronologisch erste und weitreichendste Instanz ereignet sich ein Technologie-Transfer zwischen zwei Diskursen. Der erste von beiden formiert folgerichtig die Bibliothek, wenngleich die diskursive Praxis der Verzeichnung ihre Katalogisierungstechnik zumeist nur verschwiegen und randständig behandelt. Der zweite Diskurs folgt einer Tendenz, die unter Begriffen wie Effizienz, Rationalisierung oder Psychotechnik die Abläufe und Verwaltungsmaßnahmen der Büroarbeit organisiert. Die allgegenwärtige Präsenz der Kartei auf den Schreibtischen der Zwischenkriegszeit verdankt sich der seltenen Übertragung einer Wissenstechnologie zwischen zwei Institutionen, deren Wechselwirkung üblicherweise in umgekehrter, archivalischer Richtung erfolgt, sich hier jedoch aus der Bibliothek in das Büro vollzieht. Wenn von Transfers die Rede ist, reicht es kaum aus, Anfangs- und Endpunkt, Sender und Empfänger zu markieren. Statt dessen muß gekennzeichnet werden, wie dieser Transfer inklusive all seiner Störungen, Wandlungen, Stockungen, Irritationen und Umlenkungen überträgt. Und für einmal muß noch das beschrieben werden, was übertragen wird. Denn weitergereicht wird eine Verfahrensweise, die ihrerseits darauf abzielt, den Grundoperationen einer Universalen Diskreten Maschine zu genügen: Daten zu speichern, zu prozessieren und (selbst) zu übertragen. Das von üblichen Datenspeichern wie etwa dem Buch abweichende Verfahren setzt dabei auf ein ebenso einfaches wie naheliegendes Prinzip: Die Informationen stehen auf gesonderten, gleichgerichteten und frei beweglichen Trägern bereit, um nachstrengen Ordnungsschemata arrangiert weiter verarbeitet und abgerufen zu werden. Die Übertragung beginnt mit einer Urszene, wenngleich sich das Feld ihrer Reichweite zunächst nur auf den bibliothekarischen und den damit zumeist eng verbundenen gelehrten Diskurs beschränkt. Dem Polyhistor Konrad Gessner fällt es zu, am Anfang dieser einen Geschichte der Kartei zu stehen. Sicherlich ist er kaum der Erfinder einer Technik, auf Papier verteilte Informationen zu zerschneiden und so einfacher arrangieren zu können. Jedoch liegt mit dem von ihm 1548 vielleicht erstmals explizit beschriebenen Verfahren die früheste bisher bekannte Überlieferung vor, wie auf komfortable Weise alphabetisch geordnete, umfangreiche Listen herzustellen sind. Das erste Kapitel widmet sich demnach einer detaillierten Beschreibung der Gessnerschen Verzettelung, um im Anschluß daran die Tradierung dieser vorbildlichen Empfehlung in der Frühen Neuzeit und dem Barock besonders bei der Kunst des Exzerpierens in Umrissen zu verfolgen.
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.

Abstract

This short guide is intended to help librarians and OPAC system designers to make decisions about the design of displays of more than one subject heading. The authors stress that they offer guidance rather than standards or prescriptions; their clear prose is cautious and even the number of recommendations is limited. A 12-page introduction contrasts the "structural approach" and "strict alphabetical approach" to filing, showing examples and stating arguments for each. 7 chapters cover display of subdivisions, inverted headings, display of qualified headings, arrangement of numerical headings, display of subjects interfiled with names and titles, punctuation and messages to the user. Within each chapter, questions involving choices between two or more approaches are followed by brief statements of current practice (LC rules, ALA rules, and systems in existing OPACs) extensive examples demonstrating such choices, and arguments for and against each. The authors warn against ever assuming that the user knows the needed subject headings, and acknowledge that the best OPAC design often depends on the setting and on the user's understanding of the system. Although the topic may be beyond the purview of the authoring committee, the discussion here makes one yearn for interactive OPACs that can analyze the user's needs and provide appropriate guidance to whatever system is adopted

Rez. in: KO 32(2005) no.4, S.159-160 (G.J.A. Riesthuis): "This thesaurus is a revised edition of: ASIS thesaurus of information science and librarianship, edited by Jessica L. Milstead, 2nd ed. (1998). The change in the title is result of the change of the name of the ASIS (American Society of Information Science) into American Society for Information Science and Technology. Since 2002 the 2nd edition was used by Information Science Abstracts (now Information Science & Technology Abstracts). In the 2nd edition the goal of the thesaurus was formulated as "[include concepts from] information science and librarianship to a depth that will adequately support indexing in those fields with [...] related fields [...] computer science, linguistics and cognitive sciences [...]" (p. vii). The present editors started to update the thesaurus to reflect "the current state of the field and to implement it for indexing the Society's publications for the ASIS&T Digital Library" (p. v). The draft 3rd edition is used to index a great part of the Society's four publications. This means that the 3`1 edition is, more than its predecessors, based on literary warrant as far as this warrant is reflected in ASIS&T publications. The Netherlands have a descriptor, but Romania or Portugal not. The Bliss Bibliographic Classification is mentioned, but the far more often used Russian Library Bibliographical Classification (BBK) is missing. The thesaurus is presented in three parts: 1. An alphabetical listing of all terms. Here one finds the preferred and non-preferred terms with their relations denoted in the customary form (SN, BT, NT, RT, USE and UF). The ordering is word-byword. 2. An hierarchical display of the terms. This display contains the preferred terms only. 3. A permuted display of all terms. Unlike the 2nd edition, this list contains the non-preferred terms too. The thesaurus is like its predecessors a faceted one. There are seven main facets: 1. People and organizations, 2. Actions, events, and processes, 3. Physical objects, 4. Theoretical concepts and influences on information, 5. Information, information delivery formats and channels, 6. Methods of study, 7. Geographic information. The first five facets are subdivided in subfacets, the last have just one subfacet each. In total there arc 18 subfacets, referred to as "top terms" in the language of the thesaurus. This structure is not very different from the structure of the second edition, although the number of subfacets and the terminology has changed. There is one new facet "geographic information" with one subfacet: "countries and regions". In this facet one can see very clearly see that the thesaurus is based on literary warrant: only relatively few countries arc mentioned. The facet "methods of study" is expanded strongly. Under each of the top terms additional concepts are presented in a hierarchical structure. The maximum depth of the hierarchy is nine, although most subfacets have no more than four or five levels. The record for the "bibliometrics" entry shows clearly the changes. The domain and the main structure have not changed, but narrower terms not previously mentioned are added."

Abstract

Diese Arbeit gibt einen auch für Nicht-Sinologen verständlichen Einblick in die bibliographische Welt dieses wichtigen außereuropäischen Kulturkreises und konfrontiert sie mit den existierenden Regelwerken für europäische Sprachen (RAK/AACR2). Der zweite Teil der Studie beschreibt nach einer Darstellung der Voraussetzungen für die Automatisierung im Hard- und Softwarebereich unter anderem die Katalogisierung in den amerikanischen CJK-Datenbanken von RLIN und OCLC und dann den gegenwärtigen Stand der automatischen Katalogisierung chinesischer Werke in Deutschland an drei Fallbeispielen: UB Heidelberg, SBB-PK, BSB München. Allegro erweist sich als geeignetes System auch für die Katalogisierung chinesischer Werke

Abstract

Is this book sociology, anthropology, or taxonomy? Sorting Things Out, by communications theorists Geoffrey C. Bowker and Susan Leigh Star, covers a lot of conceptual ground in its effort to sort out exactly how and why we classify and categorize the things and concepts we encounter day to day. But the analysis doesn't stop there; the authors go on to explore what happens to our thinking as a result of our classifications. With great insight and precise academic language, they pick apart our information systems and language structures that lie deeper than the everyday categories we use. The authors focus first on the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), a widely used scheme used by health professionals worldwide, but also look at other health information systems, racial classifications used by South Africa during apartheid, and more. Though it comes off as a bit too academic at times (by the end of the 20th century, most writers should be able to get the spelling of McDonald's restaurant right), the book has a clever charm that thoughtful readers will surely appreciate. A sly sense of humor sneaks into the writing, giving rise to the chapter title "The Kindness of Strangers," for example. After arguing that categorization is both strongly influenced by and a powerful reinforcer of ideology, it follows that revolutions (political or scientific) must change the way things are sorted in order to throw over the old system. Who knew that such simple, basic elements of thought could have such far-reaching consequences? Whether you ultimately place it with social science, linguistics, or (as the authors fear) fantasy, make sure you put Sorting Things Out in your reading pile.
