"With chapters on the many complex methods one must deal with to
maintain the integrity of original documents, items, and other
important subjects, The Organization of Information is complete and
comprehensive in its application. The Organization of Information
is enhanced with bibliographies, indexes, glossaries, and more,
making it an absolute must for any archive which wants to serve its
purpose well." - The Midwest Book Review
"While the text covers the theory, principles, standards, and tools
behind information organization in all types of environments, the
main focus is on libraries. The text has been reorganized and
extensively updated throughout, including new and expanded material
on indexing, abstracting, archival finding aids, museum databases,
metadata models, XML and XML schemas, the future of MARC, discovery
interfaces to information systems, next generation catalogs, new
metadata standards (DACS, CCO, CDWA, and FRBR), bibliographic
relationships and authority control, the aboutness of an
information resource, issues related to tagging, the nature of
categories and classification, and clustering." - Reference &
Research Book News
"This work is highly recommended for anyone seeking to know more
about the organization of information." - ARBA
