Download or read book A Classification and Subject Index for Cataloguing and Arranging the Books and Pamphlets of a Library written by Melvil Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1876 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The plan of the following Classification and Index was developed early in 1873. It was the result of several months' study of library economy as found in some hundreds of books and pamphlets, and in over fifty personal visits to various American libraries. In this study, the author became convinced that the usefulness of these libraries might be greatly increased without additional expenditure. Three years practical use of the system here explained, leads him to believe that it will accomplish this result; for with its aid, the catalogues, shelf lists, indexes, and cross references essential to this increased usefulness, can be made more economically than by any other method which he has been able to find. The system was devised for cataloguing and indexing purposes, but it was found on trial to be equally valuable for numbering and arranging books and pamphlets on the shelves.

It deals with fundamental questions of the purpose of classification in different situations, and the needs and expectations of end users. The reader is introduced to the ways in which document content can be assessed, and how this can best be expressed for translation into the language of specific indexing and classification systems. Fully updated to reflect changes to the major general schemes (Library of Congress, LCSH, Dewey and UDC) since the first edition, and with new chapters on working with informal classification, from folksonomies to tagging and social media, this new edition will set cataloguers on the right path. Key areas covered are: - The need for classification - The variety of classification - The structure of classification - Working with informal classification - Management aspects of classification - Classification in digital space. This guide is essential reading for library school students, novice cataloguers and all information workers who need to classify but have not formally been taught how. It also offers practical guidance to computer scientists, internet and intranet managers, and all others concerned with the design and maintenance of subject tools.

Download or read book A Comparison of Manual Indexing and Automatic Indexing in the Humanities microform written by Dana Indra Sensuse and published by Library and Archives Canada = Bibliothèque et Archives Canada. This book was released on 2004 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been substantial studies comparing automatic indexing and manual indexing; however the results have been unclear as to whether automatic indexing systems can simulate what human indexers do. Some studies have claimed that an automatic indexing system is comparable to or even better than a manual indexing system, while others show that automatic indexing systems do not work as well as human indexers do. To address this contradiction further the present research focused on two primary questions. First, to what extent are sets of document content indicators generated by automatic indexing the same as those assigned by human indexers? Second, which of the two indexing methods captures the document content more accurately as assessed by independent judges?Results from the study suggest that automatic indexing terms are statistically significantly different (p
Download or read book The Subject Approach to Information written by Antony Charles Foskett and published by Facet Publishing. This book was released on 1996 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Internet and World Wide Web have made access to information easy but do not solve the problems of finding exactly what is wanted, to the point of overwhelming the reader with information. Since the first edition of this classic librarianship text appeared, the development of computer technology has meant that the organization of information has become a hugely complex area. This fifth edition places emphasis on the intellectual effort required to make meaningful use of the enormous amount of information now accessible to the searcher. Fully revised and updated in comprehensive detail that includes bibliographies, ample examples and quotations, it focuses on: information retrieval systems database access systems online searching and OPACs hypertext networked systems. Foskett describes how we search for information by looking at the problems involved, at the theoretical principles suggested as solutions and their practical realization as classification schemes, lists of subject headings and thesauri. Readership: This influential text is widely acknowledged to be essential reading for all students of librarianship and information management, and an invaluable reference tool for practising library and information professionals.
