ASIS Thesaurus of Information Science and Librarianship by Jessica L. Milstead Pdf

The ASIS Thesaurus covers the fields of information science and librarianship. Related and peripheral fields, such as computer science linguistics, and behavioral and cognitive sciences, are examined as warranted by the strength of their relationship to information science and librarianship. More limited coverage of other peripheral fields, such as education and economics, is also provided. The thesaurus is intended primarily as a resource to aid in indexing and searching within the fields of information science and librarianship. It has also been designed for students and researchers to serve as a guide to the terminology of the field. The scope of the thesaurus is limited mainly to topical subjects. Proper names of organizations, programs, etc., are excluded, and only the names of a few tools which are key to indexing and cataloguing practices are included. The thesaurus includes 1,316 preferred terms (descriptors), 691 nonpreferred terms (user references), and 37 facet indicators. Scope notes provide information about the use of terms in the thesaurus, as well as definitions of ambiguous terms. The thesaurus can be used in three different ways: an alphabetical listing provides the full record for each descriptor, including its BT, NT, RT, and UF references; a hierarchical listing shows each descriptor in its place(s) in thehierarchy of terms based on BT/NT relationships; and a rotated (KWIC) listing shows each descriptor in alphabetical order by every word appearing in the term.

Annual Review of Information Science and Technology by Information Today Inc Pdf

ARIST, published annually since 1966, is a landmark publication within the information science community. It surveys the landscape of information science and technology, providing an analytical, authoritative, and accessible overview of recent trends and significant developments. The range of topics varies considerably, reflecting the dynamism of the discipline and the diversity of theoretical and applied perspectives. While ARIST continues to cover key topics associated with "classical" information science (e.g., bibliometrics, information retrieval), editor Blaise Cronin is selectively expanding its footprint in an effort to connect information science more tightly with cognate academic and professional communities. Contents of Volume 40 (2006): SECTION I: Information and Society Chapter 1: The Micro- and Macroeconomics of Information, Sandra Braman Chapter 2: The Geographies of the Internet, Matthew Zook Chapter 3: Open Access, M.

The Successful Academic Librarian by Gwen Meyer Gregory Pdf

The role of academic librarian is far from cut-and-dried. There are numerous job classifications and widely varying academic focuses and cultures to contend with. While every academic librarian is expected to meet the research needs of an institution's faculty and students, many are expected to assume other obligations as part of a faculty or tenure system. Given the many variants, library school alone ccannot prepare individuals for every aspect and flavor of academic librarianship, and intrepid librarians who find themselves in new places and positions face unique challenges. The Successful Academic Librarian is an antidote to the stress and burnout that almost every academic librarian experiences at one time or another. In its pages, Gwen Meyer Gregory and nearly 20 of her peers take a practical approach to a range of critical topics. Their advice, war stories, tips, techniques, and inspiration will help you thrive in your academic library career. -- from back cover.

Energy, Information, Feedback, Adaptation, and Self-organization by Spyros G Tzafestas Pdf

This unique book offers a comprehensive and integrated introduction to the five fundamental elements of life and society: energy, information, feedback, adaptation, and self-organization. It is divided into two parts. Part I is concerned with energy (definition, history, energy types, energy sources, environmental impact); thermodynamics (laws, entropy definitions, energy, branches of thermodynamics, entropy interpretations, arrow of time); information (communication and transmission, modulation–demodulation, coding–decoding, information theory, information technology, information science, information systems); feedback control (history, classical methodologies, modern methodologies); adaptation (definition, mechanisms, measurement, complex adaptive systems, complexity, emergence); and self-organization (definitions/opinions, self-organized criticality, cybernetics, self-organization in complex adaptive systems, examples in nature). In turn, Part II studies the roles, impacts, and applications of the five above-mentioned elements in life and society, namely energy (biochemical energy pathways, energy flows through food chains, evolution of energy resources, energy and economy); information (information in biology, biocomputation, information technology in office automation, power generation/distribution, manufacturing, business, transportation), feedback (temperature, water, sugar and hydrogen ion regulation, autocatalysis, biological modeling, control of hard/technological and soft/managerial systems), adaptation and self-organization (ecosystems, climate change, stock market, knowledge management, man-made self-organized controllers, traffic lights control).

Relationships in the Organization of Knowledge by A. Bean,R. Green Pdf

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 phenomena entirely internal to the field: the relationship between manuscript collections, archives, and special collections; the relationship between end user search behavior and the effectiveness of searches; the relationship between access to and use of information resources; the relationship between recall and precision; the relationship between various bibliometric laws; etc. The list of such relationships could go on and on. The relationships addressed in this volume are restricted to those involved in the organization of recorded knowledge, which tend to have a conceptual or semantic basis, although statistical means are sometimes used in their discovery.
