This book is an important addition to the field of LIS which is often criticised for lacking theoretical foundations. In the author’s own words, “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 organising it. Just as the practical science of engineering is undergirded by theoretical physics, so too the design of systems for organising information rests on an intellectual foundation”. According to Svenonius (2000, p.68), the major cataloguing principles that are well established in successive iterations of cataloguing practises include: Principle of user convenience, Principle of representation, Principle of sufficiency and necessity, Principle of standardisation, and Principle of integration. The book argues in favour of standardisation and internationalisation. It discusses in adequate detail about bibliographic languages. It also highlights on the history of library cataloguing and provides historical background.
While The Intellectual Foundation of Information Organization is a challenging read, it's also a worthwhile one. Pertenece a las series
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.
