The Intellectual Foundation of Information Organization
Integrating the disparate disciplines of descriptive cataloging, subject cataloging, indexing, and classification, the book adopts a conceptual framework that views the process of organizing information as the use of a special language of description called a bibliographic language. Instant electronic access to digital information is the single most distinguishing attribute of the information age. The elaborate retrieval mechanisms that support such access are a product of technology. But technology is not enough. The effectiveness of a system for accessing information is a direct function of the intelligence put into organizing it. Just as the practical field of engineering has theoretical ...
Concept and Expressions of Time
The concept of 'time' is ubiquitous and as ancient as man. Methods of its measurement range from those based on natural phenomena to the oscillation of an atom. In physics, time is one of the fundamentals that include space, energy, gravitation, weight, and mass. Whether time is cyclic or linear, or both, is another issue. The concept and measures of time are affected by culture, human needs, occupation, and the value assigned to time in different contexts. There are communities that do not appear to have any concept of time, and there are those who specify it very minutely, as in the spiritual offerings practiced by some Hindu communities. In the fine arts and performing arts, the measureme...
Relationships in the Organization of Knowledge
Relationships abound in the library and information science (LIS) world. Those relationships may be social in nature, as, for instance, when we deal with human relationships among library personnel or relationships (i. e. , "public relations") between an information center and its clientele. The relationships may be educational, as, for example, when we examine the relationship between the curriculum of an accredited school and the needs of the work force it is preparing students to join. Or the relationships may be economic, as when we investigate the relationship between the cost of journals and the frequency with which they are cited. Many of the relationships of concern to us reflect phe...
