From many observations and theories it considers three subject: first is the listing of fields in art history, second is the library system is for categorizing art books, and third is the plotting of space and time in art history from survey texts. Also in the discussion the writer talks about the geography of art history such as where does the idea appear from? Other questions he asked was how and why do disciplinary classifications aspire are global remain
known as classification; the aim of which to bring order and logics to things and thought. We are exposed to classification in every aspect of our life, for example the filing of patients records in a doctor’s office, the way supermarket arrange groceries on their shelves and the layout strategies garments stores use to display their products. Classification is one of the main activities of cataloguing and involves the assigning of numbers to represent subject content. Without classification, access

Each volume of the LCC schedules contains its own index and these indexes do not refer to one another. Finding subjects in the schedules can be awkward.

A History of the Dewey Decimal System The history of the Dewey Decimal Classification System (DDC) hearkens back to the very beginning of the modern library movement in the nineteenth century. The classification scheme’s progenitor was a man named Melvil Dewey who was born to a poor family in upstate New York in 1851. 1 His full name was Melville Louis Kossuth Dewey, but he was a man who supported language/spelling reform and had his named shortened to just Melvil Dewey. He even tried to have
Introduction DDC: From West to East This paper is examining how the Dewey Decimal Classification System (DDC) has been adapted and translated in both Western and non-Western Nations and the problems that have arisen during this process. In this paper we will first examine what the DDC is which includes looking into its history specifically into how Mr. Custer helped the DDC become an international classification system. Next we will focus on the problems that arise during the process of adapting
allows. In the text Metadata and Its Applications in the Digital Library: Approaches and Practices Liu writes “…no one can deny that the philosophy behind metadata has existed for a very long time. The bibliographic records for the documents carved on the clay tablets in the library of Assurbanipal in the seventh century BC are metadata. “ (Liu, 2007) Despite the origins of metadata it has become common in the majority of academic libraries to apply metadata practices while cataloging electronic and digital
On one particular day, one of your children notifies you that once again they are going to the library to finish a school paper. No harm in that right? However, perhaps you would think differently if you knew your child wasn’t going to the library to merely finish his report, but to also look at pornography he had been introduced to on the internet. This is not only a reality at your local libraries, but also the topic of a long time debate in this country over responsible information access and
organization of their tablets. A final example from ancient times is when the Assyrian king Ashurbanipal who was very proud of his education established a library in the city of Nineveh. He sent scholars many places to copy tablets to bring them to Nineveh; this resulted in a very large library that needed to be organized. By 650 BC the library was large enough (20,000 tablets) that made a systematic means of order and authenticity necessary. Unfortunately this trend of finding bette... ... middle
supported mainly by anti-federalists, the Bill of Rights upheld what was needed to protect individual liberty. From the ratification we have our first ten amendments. The most important and used today is the first amendment. The amendment states “Congress shall make no law respecting… petition the government for a redress of grievances.” This amendment is very powerful but cannot be overly abused. Over time the freedom of speech has been constricted. There are many court cases that display the limitation
the three rules of a planet. Pluto crosses over Neptune’s orbit and is near other dwarf planets like it. Even though it breaks one rule it was officially named a dwarf planet in “August 2006”, as stated by the Library of Congress. After this event Pluto still only has one correct classification. Pluto is a planet because
The internet is a network of computers linked by internet service providers that links edge providers to the end users (Friedlander 908). Throughout its lifetime, the regulatory aspects concerning the control and transportation of the data has been heavily debated. To some, the internet should remain in its current state being an open and equal internet, better known as net neutrality. However, others argue that internet regulations can be revised to be more efficient. This idea introduces the issue

Discuss Smith's assertion in the context of the contemporary information environment Introduction In the world of preservation and library science the common focus is on preserving content, ensuring its longevity, findability, and a stable consistent metadata and technology solution, However we live in an age where everyone is a publisher of some form, and more consistently the content
poem rings such as to be a connective tissue to society as a whole. This lyric gives a definitive idea as to who Robert Hayden was as a child. Fast forward as a man, Hayden was the first black American poet to be a consultant on poetry to the Library of Congress. Starting in the 1930s he researched black history for the Federal Writers' Project in his native city of Detroit Michigan. While studying at the University of Michigan Hayden was influenced by W. H. Auden and Stephen Vincent Benet which wrote
Enhanced British Parliamentary Papers on Ireland, 1801-1922 The British Parliamentary Papers on Ireland (BPPI) are an indispensable primary source for virtually every historian (and many non-historians) working in most fields of Irish history, and the history of Anglo-Irish relations, during the period of the Union (1801-1922). We have identified some 13,700 official publications relating to Ireland from the House of Commons[1] Sessional Indexes for this period, ranging in scale from short bills
information along the book and e-book production and supply chains. Its origin and development were originally intended to organize and standardize supply chain metadata for the publishing industry, but libraries soon found many benefits to its use, and now several methods of incorporating ONIX data into library catalogs exist. This paper focuses on ONIX for Books, which includes the standards for both printed and electronic books. According to EDItEUR, the organization responsible for the development and

society as a whole conspires to protect children, but there are no social or physical constraints to Internet surfing. The Internet Censorship Bill of 1995, also known as the Exon/Coats Communications Decency Act, has been introduced in the U.S. Congress. It would make it a criminal offense to make available to children anything that is indecent, or to send anything indecent with "intent to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass" ("Stop the Communications ..." n.p.). The goal of this bill as written
travels. Electromagnetic radiation is the energy that travels at the speed of light in waves as a stream of photon particles. This form of energy encompasses radio waves, microwaves, visible, nonvisible light, X–rays and gamma rays, and these classifications are based upon the frequency at which the energy travels (see figure 1). In order to refer to a specific portion, also called a band, of the electromagnetic spectrum, one uses Hertz (Hz) as the unit of measurement. Figure 1 Spectrum has an abundance
