The extensively revised and completely updated second edition of this popular textbook provides LIS practitioners and students with a vital guide to the organization of information. After a broad overview of the concept and its role in human endeavors, Taylor proceeds to a detailed and insightful discussion of such basic retrieval tools as bibliographies, catalogs, indexes, finding aids, registers, databases, major bibliographic utilities, and other organizing entities. After tracing the development of the organization of recorded information in Western civilization from 2000 B.C.E. to the present, the author addresses topics that include encoding standards (MARC, SGML, and various DTDs), metadata (description, access, and access control), verbal subject analysis including controlled vocabularies and ontologies, classification theory and methodology, arrangement and display, and system design.… (més)
I just finished a course on Information Organization with one of the authors, Professor Joudrey. I'm glad I took this required course/read this book in the first semester of my MLIS program because it has given me a foundation for understanding information organization in the past and present, with projections into the future -- in libraries, archives, and online.
Appendices offer helpful examples of concepts presented in various chapters and the glossary & index (when I remembered to use them) saved me from banging my head against the wall during several assignments. It feels like I absorbed only a small percentage of the information and will keep this textbook on my shelves for reference.
This is an aside, but one thing I did quickly learn is that the profession of library science is as acronym-heavy as the United States military. This makes sense considering they're both systems-oriented and uber-organized (at least in theory). ( )
Comprehensive textbook, with just the right mix for information classification, including history (the hand written card catalogs) and modern database coding.

We believe, however, that the principles of organization that have developed over the last several hundred centuries will not be thrown out but will continue to evolve into the organizing principles of the future.
