Hider, Philip – Education for Information, 2018
The intellectual origins of information organization (IO) as a field of study are examined by tracing the use of the terms, "information organization", "knowledge organization", "bibliographic control", and their variants, and by surveying the educational texts dealing with the various component activities of IO,…

Joo, Soohyung; Kipp, Margaret E. I. – Information Research: An International Electronic Journal, 2015
Introduction: This study examines the structure of Web space in the field of library and information science using multivariate analysis of social tags from the Website, Delicious.com. A few studies have examined mathematical modelling of tags, mainly examining tagging in terms of tripartite graphs, pattern tracing and descriptive statistics. This…

Unegbu, Vincent E.; Onuoha, Uloma D. – Journal of Curriculum and Teaching, 2013
The Bible is an important book that represents all courses that human beings engage in. Many professions use it as a textbook for their course, as are listed in this write up. In spite of the rich source of information embedded in it, library and information professions are yet to tap into it. The first two chapters of the Bible are a very good…

Aharony, Noa – Journal of Librarianship and Information Science, 2012
The current study seeks to describe and analyze journal research publications in the top 10 Library and Information Science journals from 2007-8. The paper presents a statistical descriptive analysis of authorship patterns (geographical distribution and affiliation) and keywords. Furthermore, it displays a thorough content analysis of keywords and…

Fleming-May, Rachel A. – Library Quarterly, 2011
The "use" of library resources and services is frequently presented in library and information science (LIS) literature as a primitive concept: an idea that need not be defined when it is being measured as an operational variable in empirical research. This project considered representations of library "use" through the…

Smith, Kerry; Middleton, Mike – Australian Academic & Research Libraries, 2009
The paper describes the processes and outcomes of the ranking of LIS journal titles by Australia's LIS researchers during 2007-8, first through the Australian federal government's Research Quality Framework (RQF) process, and then by its replacement, the Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) initiative. The requirement to rank the journals'…

Hider, Philip – Australian Academic & Research Libraries, 2009
The resource typologies proposed in the new standard, "Resource Description and Access" (RDA), are evaluated in the context of a particular university library catalogue through two card-sort exercises. Although it was found that end-users recognised the content and carrier aspects of the resource types as listed in RDA, they did not…

Journal of Documentation, 1973
The main topics considered over the period of this bulletin (September 1968 to September 1972) have been the classification of Library and Information Sciences, and the continuing problems of the principles required for a better comprehensive general classification. (2 references) (Author/NH)

Foskett, D. J. – 1970
The Classification Research Group has produced a number of reports which explore the theoretical, as opposed to special, classification schemes and worked out their applications in detail in a few selected disciplines. A short and simplified introduction to these reports, which are published under the title "Classification and Information…

Houser, Lloyd – Library and Information Science Research, 1986
Proposes scientific theory of the subject matter of library and information science and how it can be organized in terms of the function of documents and their basic use. A hierarchy of classes of documents is described including one, several, or all of the following: information, creativity, understanding, and explanation. (Author/EM)

Daniel, Ruth; And Others – 1975
The language of library and information science is presented in a faceted library classification. To this vocabulary are added rules for combining terms into compound subjects; an overall linear order for all terms, elementary and compound; and a notation to maintain this order in a mechanical fashion. An extensive alphabetical index is included.…

Star, Susan Leigh – Library Trends, 1998
Compares the qualitative method of grounded theory (GT) with Ranganathan's construction of faceted classifications (FC) in library and information science. Both struggle with a core problem--the representation of vernacular words and processes, empirically discovered, which will, although ethnographically faithful, be powerful beyond the single…

Beghtol, Clare – Journal of Documentation, 1995
Examines the origins and parallel uses of the concept of "facet" in bibliographic classification theory and behavioral research. Suggests that social sciences in general were receptive to conceptual borrowing, but that library and information science as a discipline was relatively isolated. (contains 108 references) (Author/AEF)

Houser, Lloyd – Library and Information Science Research, 1986
Examines the literature on the myth of "hard science-soft science" as a means of defining scientific specialties and classifying science literature, and discusses some shortcomings of scholarship in library and information science. Use of Toulmin's categorization of sciences to organize the literature and provide access for scientists is…
