The Intellectual Foundation of Information Organization
Author: Elaine Svenonius
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262512610
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
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 physics as its underlying base, the design of systems for organizing information rests on an intellectual foundation. The subject of this book is the systematized body of knowledge that constitutes this foundation. 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. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is an analytic discussion of the intellectual foundation of information organization. The second part moves from generalities to particulars, presenting an overview of three bibliographic languages: work languages, document languages, and subject languages. It looks at these languages in terms of their vocabulary, semantics, and syntax. The book is written in an exceptionally clear style, at a level that makes it understandable to those outside the discipline of library and information science.

Museums and Digital Culture
Author: Tula Giannini
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319974572
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 590
Book Description
This book explores how digital culture is transforming museums in the 21st century. Offering a corpus of new evidence for readers to explore, the authors trace the digital evolution of the museum and that of their audiences, now fully immersed in digital life, from the Internet to home and work. In a world where life in code and digits has redefined human information behavior and dominates daily activity and communication, ubiquitous use of digital tools and technology is radically changing the social contexts and purposes of museum exhibitions and collections, the work of museum professionals and the expectations of visitors, real and virtual. Moving beyond their walls, with local and global communities, museums are evolving into highly dynamic, socially aware and relevant institutions as their connections to the global digital ecosystem are strengthened. As they adopt a visitor-centered model and design visitor experiences, their priorities shift to engage audiences, convey digital collections, and tell stories through exhibitions. This is all part of crafting a dynamic and innovative museum identity of the future, made whole by seamless integration with digital culture, digital thinking, aesthetics, seeing and hearing, where visitors are welcomed participants. The international and interdisciplinary chapter contributors include digital artists, academics, and museum professionals. In themed parts the chapters present varied evidence-based research and case studies on museum theory, philosophy, collections, exhibitions, libraries, digital art and digital future, to bring new insights and perspectives, designed to inspire readers. Enjoy the journey!

ISBN: 9781647261160
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 236
Book Description
Library and information science, or library or information studies, is the combination of information science and library science. Its function is to design and develop knowledge-organization systems. It uses tools of management and information technology to organize, collect, disseminate and preserve information resources. A primary aspect of this domain is the organization of information to serve the specific needs of readers. It is also concerned with the acquisition, evaluation and application of information by users within and outside libraries. Some of the significant areas of study in this discipline are interactive information retrieval, scholarly communication, bibliometrics, digital literacy, etc. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of library and information science. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, it makes an effort in highlighting their impacts as a modern tool for the growth of this field. This textbook is appropriate for those seeking detailed information in this area.
