This third edition of Taylor's modern classic continues to articulate the theory, principles, standards, and tools behind information organization.
As with previous editions, it begins with strong justification for the continued importance of organizing principles and practice. Following a broad overview of the concept and its role in human endeavors, Taylor and Joudrey provide a detailed and insightful discussion of such basic retrieval tools as inventories, bibliographies, catalogs, indexes, finding aids, registers, databases, major bibliographic utilities, and other organizing entities; and subsequently trace the development of the organization of recorded information in Western civilization from 2000 B.C.E. to the present. Standards of codification (MARC, SGML, and various DTDs), controlled vocabularies and ontologies, and Web 2.0 technologies are but a sample of its extensive topical coverage.
Still the title of choice for students and professionals eager to embrace the heritage, immediacy, and future of this fascinating field of study.
 • Restructured and expanded sections on metadata (description, access, and access control) and subject analysis and aboutness 
• Significant revisions to sections dealing with indexing and abstracting, systems and system design, and authority control (especially FRAR)
• Expanded coverage of archives and archival finding aids, museums and galleries, and digital libraries

Introduction to Cataloging and Classification (Library and Information Science Text Series)

A new edition of this best-selling textbook reintroduces the topic of library cataloging from a fresh, modern perspective.
Not many books merit an eleventh edition, but this popular text does. Newly updated, Introduction to Cataloging and Classification provides an introduction to descriptive cataloging based on contemporary standards, explaining the basic tenets to readers without previous experience, as well as to those who merely want a better understanding of the process as it exists today. The text opens with the foundations of cataloging, then moves to specific details and subject matter such as Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR), Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD), the International Cataloging Principles (ICP), and RDA. 
Unlike other texts, the book doesn't presume a close familiarity with the MARC bibliographic or authorities formats; ALA's Anglo-American Cataloging Rules, 2nd Edition, revised (AACR2R); or the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD). Subject access to library materials is covered in sufficient depth to make the reader comfortable with the principles and practices of subject cataloging and classification. In addition, the book introduces MARC, BIBFRAME, and other approaches used to communicate and display bibliographic data. Discussions of formatting, presentation, and administrative issues complete the book; questions useful for review and study appear at the end of each chapter.
 • Delineates the new cataloging landscape
• Shares a principles-based perspective
• Provides introductory text for beginners and intermediate students
• Emphasizes descriptive and subject cataloging, as well as format-neutral cataloging
• Covers new cataloging rules and RDA

This fourth edition provides an updated look at information organization, featuring coverage of the Semantic Web, linked data, and EAC-CPF; new metadata models such as IFLA-LRM and RiC; and new perspectives on RDA and its implementation.
This latest edition of The Organization of Information is a key resource for anyone in the beginning stages of their LIS career as well as longstanding professionals and paraprofessionals seeking accurate, clear, and up-to-date guidance on information organization activities across the discipline. The book begins with a historical look at information organization methods, covering libraries, archives, museums, and online settings. It then addresses the types of retrieval tools used throughout the discipline―catalogs, finding aids, indexes, bibliographies, and search engines―before describing the functionality of systems, explaining the basic principles of system design, and defining how they affect information organization. The principles and functionality of metadata is next, with coverage of the types, functions, tools, and models (particularly FRBR, IFLA-LRM, RDF) and how encoding works for use and sharing―for example, MARC, XML schemas, and linked data approaches.
The latter portion of the resource describes specific activities related to the creation of metadata for resources. These chapters offer an overview of the major issues, challenges, and standards used in the information professions, addressing topics such as resource description (including standards found in RDA, DACS, and CCO), access points, authority control, subject analysis, controlled vocabularies―notably LCSH, MeSH, Sears, and AAT―and categorization systems such DDC and LCC.
 • Provides an essential overview of information organization―a central activity in library and information science―that describes approaches to organizing in libraries, archives, museums, online settings, indexing services, and other environments
• Newly revised and updated to reflect changes in cataloging rules, address new standards, and introduce upcoming changes
• Expands the scope of content relating to information organization in non-library settings
• Features vocabulary and acronym lists at the end of each chapter to help readers stay abreast of new terminology
