| - | ====2 The Early Missions of Libraries ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | **The Earliest Mission: Maintaining a Records Archive** | ||
| - | |||
| - | "...at least two significant factors provided impetus for their creation: the rise of commerce and the invention of writing." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The earliest written records date from 3000 BC and probably come from Sumeria or its environs in Mesopotamia." | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | "There is even evidence that there was a hierarchy among scribes with senior scribes serving as chief administrators of the tablet archives. Given the rarity of their skills, it is not surprising that these scribes were part of the elite of Sumerian society (Walker 1998)." | ||
| - | |||
| - | **The Religious and Practical Missions of Egyptian Libraries** | ||
| - | |||
| - | "As with Sumeria, Egyptian temples were cultural centers that served by as both historical archives and places for learning. Writing was considered a sacred activity. The temple priests trained professional scribes in a type of apprentice-master system to write a pictographic and phonographic language called hieroglyphics (Davis 1998)." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The earliest Egyptian libraries probably emerged around 2400 BC. The library at Edfu, known as the "House of Papyrus," | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | "In addition to the temple libraries, there were also extensive private collections among royalty and individual wealthy Egyptians. Perhaps the most notable royal library was that of Pharoah Rames II in Thebes between 1200 and 1300 BC. This library might have had a many as 20,000 scrolls (Nichols 1964)." | ||
| - | |||
| - | **The Mission of Scholarship and Research** | ||

| - | |||
| - | "At its height, it was estimated to have as many as 50,000 clay tablets, two-thirds of which were collected during Ashurbanipal' | ||
| - | * the collection was a concerted effort to acquire a vast amount of material on a variety of subjects | ||
| - | * the holdings were developed, at least in part, for future generations | ||
| - | * Many of the materials were translated to increase accessibility | ||
| - | * the materials were systematically organized, marked and arranged | ||

| - | "An entire annex of the Alexandrian library was created to make such copies (Staikos 2004)." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The librarians organized, evaluated, classified, and maintained the materials in two buildings. A major research library called the Brucheion, was divided into ten great halls, each hall representing separate areas of learning subdivided with the smaller rooms for individuals involved in special studies (Parsons 1952). A smaller library, called the Serapeum, might have provided some service to students and the public (Harris and Johnson 1984). | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The Alexandrian became a self-contained community of scholars that attracted other notable scholars including Euclid, Archimedes, and Galen. Many of the researchers were provided with grants and other privileges including food, lodging, and servants so that they could pursue their academic activities undisturbed (Battles 2003; Staikos 2004). Common to academic institutions even today, this was a source of much jealousy and criticism by those who were not part of the privileged community. Interestingly, | ||
| - | |||
| - | "In fact, the Alexandrian represented a cultural core for Greek influence on the known world. As Battles (2003) noted: | ||
| - | 'By bringing scholars to Alexandria and inviting them to live and work, at royal expense, among an enormous store of books, the Ptolemies made the library into a think tank under the control of the royal house. The strategic implications of a monopoly on knowledge -- especially in medicine, engineering, | ||

| - | **The Missions of Personal Status and Public Use** | ||
| - | |||
| - | "By the first century BC there were many libraries in Rome. Some were associated with temples, others could be found in public bath which and alcoves in which to store scrolls. Many were in the private homes of wealthy Romans. Aristotle' | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The Emperor Augustus built two additional public libraries in Rome and by the fourth century AD there were as many as twenty-nine public libraries in the city, often associated with Roman temples (Boyd 1915)." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The purpose of such recitations was either to obtain criticism from the listening audience, or to gain popularity and sales by entertaining fellow Romans. These public recitations evolved over time from small gatherings to much larger meetings which required larger rooms, which we now know as ' | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | **Preserving Scholarship: | ||
| - | "The center of the Byzantine Empire as Constantinople, | ||
| - | |||
| - | "Arab rulers built great libraries that became a critical force in fostering the translation of many materials especially classical Greek works by Aristotle, Archimedes, and Euclid. The proliferation of libraries through the Muslim world was impressive: Spain had seventy libraries, Baghdad thirty-six, and "every important city in Persia had its library" | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The earliest major library was the Royal Library in Damascus, which contained materials from throughout the world on a wide variety of topics, including medicine, philosophy, history, and literature (Harris and Johnson 1984)." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The most notable library in Bagdad at this time was the "House of Wisdom." | ||
| - | |||
| - | **The Religious Mission: Monastic Libraries of the Middle Ages** | ||
| - | |||
| - | The mission of the monastic library was threefold: to provide a place for spiritual reflection, to archive religious texts, and to reproduce religious and sometimes secular texts." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "Other rules involved the copying of books in a special room called the scriptorium. " | ||
| - | |||
| - | "Both literacy and publishing benefited: The scriptoria became the publishing houses of the middle ages; and a large percentage of the literate individuals in Western Europe were educated in these monastic schools (Cantor 2003)." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "One other debt is due the monks, the Dominicans in particular. The Dominican friars created written guidelines related to locating the best site for a library, providing adequate shelving, organizing the library by subjects, marking the spines of the books with their titles, replenishing and weeding the collection, establishing hours of operation, and selling duplicate titles (Clanchy 1979)." | ||
| - | |||
| - | **The Educational Mission: Cathedral and University Libraries of the Late Middle Ages** | ||
| - | |||
| - | The cathedral libraries were large than those in monasteries and were less dominated by religious works (Shera 1976). In fact, the mission of cathedral libraries, unlike the monastic libraries, was to support the educational program of the cathedral and encourage study." | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | **The Humanistic Mission and the Reemergence of the Library for Personal Status** | ||
| - | |||
| - | "It was also a time of great private libraries developed by leading literary figures such as Petrarch and Boccaccio, who themselves were sponsored by popes or Renaissance princes such as the dukes of Urbino and the Medici. These sponsors were passionate book collectors as both a matter of personal vanity and genuine interest in secular learning. They sent agents through Western Europe to located manuscripts in deteriorating monastic libraries. Sometimes the manuscripts were copied but often enthusiastic agents confiscated (or saved) these items for their sponsors." | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Promoting National Pride: The Mission of the National Libraries** | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The growth of secular monarchies and nationalism is consistent with the emergence of a new type of library--the national library. Early examples of such libraries arose in the seventeenth century in England, France, Germany, Denmark, and Scotland." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "What distinguished these libraries was not simply their large collections, | ||
| - | |||
| - | "To meet this mission, a unique collection development technique arose: the creation of a depository right. That is, some nations passed laws requiring that at least one copy of each item published with the country be sent to the national library. This was accomplished, | ||
| - | |||
| - | ====3 Making Modern Missions Possible - The Printing Press==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | "If one can identify a single historical development that profoundly affected all libraries, it would be the revolutionary invention of the printing press in 1454 in Mainz, Germany, which affected much more than libraries." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The printing press made books available to the masses for the first time and thus increased a desire for learning." | ||
| - | | ||
| - | === The Printing Press === | ||
| - | ^Made possible^description^ | ||
| - | |The ability to produce exact copies| Before printing, all copies were made by hand. This laborious process sometimes produced extraordinary works of art. More often, however, copying resulted in less-than-perfect versions; copiers made mistakes or even intentionally omitted or amended text. The printing press could produce identical copies.| | ||
| - | | The ability to produce more titles and more copies|The sheer volume of printed material increased dramatically. By the sixteenth century, more than 100,000 different books were printed in Europe alone (Harris and Johnson 1984).| | ||
| - | | The ability to cover more subjects|In the first decade of printing, ending in 1460, most of the books printed were in one of four medieval categories: (1) sacred literature (Bibles and prayer books), (2) learned literature (grammatical and scholastic works such as those of Thomas Aquinas), (3) bureaucratic literature (official documents such as papal bulls and indulgence certificates), | ||
| - | | The creation of new techniques for the organization of published materials|Given the growth in size and subject diversity of library collections, | ||
| - | | The stimulation of literacy and education for the general population|When books were scarce, only a few could have access to them. As more books, became available, it was inevitable that more people would learn to read. This, in turn, generated a new audience for libraries.| | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The impact of the printing press on society was profound and rapid. By 1500, there may have been as many as 1000 printer' | ||
| - | |||
| - | "But there were other significant impacts as well. The printing press led to mass production of maps and navigational tables dramatically improving sea navigation and exploration, | ||

| - | ====4 Libraries in the United States: New Missions ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were formative periods for American libraries." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "There were also a few modest college libraries. Harvard University, founded in 1636, hired its first librarian in 1667 and by the mid-eighteenth century possessed a small library of approximately 5,000 volumes. Yale University, founded in 1700, held around 2,500 volumes by 1750 (Harris and Johnson 1984)." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "By 1792, only nine colonial colleges had libraries. The size of the typical college collection was small for several reasons: the low number of book titles produced in the United States, lack of fiscal resources, and lack of recognition of the library' | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | "By 1876, there were more than 10,000 libraries of over eighty different types (McMullen 2000). Their variety was impressive: agricultural libraries, antiquarian society libraries, art society libraries, church libraries, county libraries, government libraries, historical society libraries, hotel reading rooms, ladies' | ||
| - | |||
| - | **The Mission of Self-Improvement: | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The social library emerged during the first half of the eighteenth century. According to Shera (1965), 'the social library was nothing more than a voluntary association of individuals who had contributed money toward a common fund to be used for the purchase of books' (p.57)." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "There were two types of social libraries: proprietary libraries and subscription (association) libraries. Proprietary libraries operated on the principle that those who contributed money for the library actually owned the material purchased; in essence, they were stockholders. In subscription libraries, individuals paid a fee to use and circulate the collection, but they did not own the items (Shera 1965). Some social libraries were hybrids of the two models, with some members owning shares while others participated by annual subscription. Most social libraries has fewer than 50 members and consequently, | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The mission of the social library was to assist individuals' | ||
| - | |||
| - | "One of the earliest proponents of this mission was Benjamin Franklin, who is credit with establishing the first social library, called the Junto, in Philidelphia in 1728. The Junto was short lived, but he soon founded a second library, which he called a subscription library, 1731. It survives today the Philadelphia Library Company." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The social library became quite popular throughout New England in the latter half of the eighteenth century and well into the nineteenth, with its apex between 1825 and 1835." | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | **The Mission of Providing Entertainment: | ||
| - | |||
| - | "While the social library was attempting to meet the need for self-improvment, | ||
| - | |||
| - | "As many as 350 foreign titles might have been published in America from 1789 to 1800, compared to thirty-five titles by American authors (Shera 1965)." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The distinguishing feature of the circulating libraries was their profit-making character, Usually associated with a printer or bookstore, the books were rented of individuals were charged a membership fee that allowed them to borrow a designated number of books over specified period of time. Serving mass taste appears to have been as profitable in colonial times as it is today; many of these libraries prospered and spread throughout New England." | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | "The circulating library also made several contributions to contemporary public library philosophy and service. For example, despite its profit motive, its mission to appeal to popular taste has echoes in contemporary public library service. In addition, Kaser (1980) noted, circulating libraries were the first to provide (1) service to women, (2) newspapers and magazines, (3) extended hours of service, (4) reading areas in the library itself, and (5) outreach services, including home delivery of books. These are substantive contributions. The circulating library' | ||

| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Changes in the Curriculum** | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The evolution of the academic curriculum and its implication for librarianship were recognized early by Melvil Dewey (1978): 'The colleges are waking to the fact that the work of every professor and every department is necessarily based on the library; text books constantly yield their exalted places to wiser and broader methods; professor after professor sends his classes, or goes with them, to the library and teaches them to investigate for themselves, and to use books, getting beyond the method of the primary school with its parrot-like recitations from a single text. (p. 136)" | ||
| - | |||
| - | **The Rise of the Research Model** | ||
| - | |||
| - | "At the turn of the eighteenth century at the University of Berlin in Germany, a new model of the modern university emerged. This model envisioned faculty members as independent researchers. Objective scholarship was promoted, and an expansive faculty research agenda was encouraged (Chiflett 1994). Given the obvious need for published resources for research, the academic library played an increasingly critical role." | ||
| - | "...it was not until 1876 that this model was explicitly adopted with the founding of John Hopkins University. John Hopkins placed research as a central function of the university. The seminar model of teaching was emphasized and students were encouraged to consult a wide variety of published sources." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The need for a library with current and deep collections was essential to fulfill this function, and the result was on increase substantially the importance and centrality of the academic library. Although the mission of the academic libraries continues to evolve, the need to support the academic curriculum and provide research support for faculty remains the academic library' | ||
| - | |||
| - | **The Passage of the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862** | ||
| - | "This led to the passage of the Morrill Land Grant Act in 1862, which allocated 30,000 acres of public land to establish state universities promoting agriculture and the mechanical arts." | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | **Supporting Primary and Secondary Education: The Mission of the School Library** | ||
| - | |||
| - | "In 1852 Massachusetts passed the first compulsory school attendance laws. By 1890, half of the states had such laws. At the same time, more and more schools, including secondary schools with libraries, were being built." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The earliest attempt to support public school libraries occurred in New York in 1835 when the state legislature passed a law that permitted school districts to apply some of their tax receipts to create and maintain school libraries. By 1875, twenty states had passed similar legislation (Knight and Nourse 1969). In 1892, New York again passed legislation that provided matching funds to purchase library books for school districts as long as the books were first approved by the Department of Public Instruction. Approved materials consisted of ' | ||

| - | |||

| - | ===Fundamental Characteristics Shared by All American Public Libraries=== | ||
| - | ^Characteristic^description^ | ||
| - | |Supported by taxes|Public libraries are usually supported by local taxes, although over the years there have been exceptions. The notion of public support through taxation is rare before the nineteenth century. As noted earlier, prior to that time, libraries were most often sponsored or subscribed by private citizens, religious orders, or royal families.| | ||
| - | |Governed by a board|This board usually has consisted of prominent citizens appointed, or sometimes elected, to serve the public interest.| | ||
| - | |Open to all|A fundamental tenet of public libraries is that everyone in the community can access the collection. This is not to say that every group has been made to feel welcome. At different times, various subsets of the population have not found public libraries friendly or accommodating to their needs. But in principle, the libraries are open to all.| | ||
| - | |Voluntary|People are not forced to come; the use of the library is entirely voluntary. This distinguishes it from other educational institutions, | ||
| - | |Established by state law|This point is not generally well understood. During the early development of public libraries, serious questions arose concerning whether a town could create a library and tax its citizens for its maintenance with the state' | ||
| - | |Provides services without charge|Although some public libraries charge a small fee for special services, most of the services are provided without fees.| | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | "In March 1848, the Massachusetts legislature authorized the city of Boston to provide municipal support for a public library. The Boston Public Library founded in 1854, received credit for being the first major public library." | ||
| - | |||
| - | **The Founding of the Boston Public Library** | ||
| - | "The concept of a public library for Boston was first advanced more than a decade before its founding by a noted French actor and ventriloquist, | ||
| - | |||
| - | "In the 1840s he proposed that several of the major private libraries in Boston combine into one public institution to facilitate this exchange." | ||
| - | |||
| - | Charles Ticknor | Edward Everett | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The efforts of Ticknor, Everett, and other finally convinced the Boston city fathers to appoint a Joint Standing Committee on the Library, which in turn recommended the appointment of a board of trustees. The Boston Public Library opened in the spring of 1854. Its mission was to serve the education convictions of Everett and the popular needs espoused by Ticknor." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The creation of the BPL is generally viewed as the result of two major factors: first, it was a natural outgrowth of urban developments in the mid-nineteenth century; and second, it was the result of prevailing social attitudes held by a small group of individuals who concluded, for a variety of reasons, that a public library was need for the citizens of Boston." | ||

| - | **The Historical Struggle over Popular Materials** | ||
| - | |||
| - | "From the beginning, the public library was challenged by the mission of satisfying popular tastes. Their holdings of popular novels, newspapers, and magazines were of concern to some because these materials tended to attract a clientele who were more inclined to lounge than to read - the " | ||

| - | |||
| - | 'Read at an age when the taste is unformed, when the passions are just developing, when the will is feeble, principles are unfixed, and resistance to temptation is difficult, if they do not utterly spoil the inquisitive minds which are attracted by their glittering mediocrity, it will be because nature is stronger than education, and original vigor more than a match for enfeebling moral influences. (p.139).' | ||

| - | |||

| - | "Many librarians took this responsibility quite seriously and numerous articles in professional periodicals offered advice on providing services and understanding the needs of immigrants. Some librarians exhibited an almost missionary zeal in their efforts to bring the benefits of reading to the general public." | ||

What libraries there were provided severely restricted or no service to African-Americans (Truhillo and Cuesta 1989). By 1900, it is estimated that 90 percent of African-Americans in the South still could not read. | ||

In 1905, two segregated reading rooms for blacks were established in the public libraries of Lexington, Kentucky, and Jacksonville, | ||

| - | - Open Government Data (OGD) | ||
| - | ==Principles== | ||
| - | ^10 Principles of OGD^Description^ | ||
| - | |Completeness|Datasets released by the government should be as complete as possible, reflecting the entirety of what is recorded about a particular subject...| | ||
| - | |Primacy|Datasets released by the government should be primary source data. This includes the original information collected by the government, details on how the data was collected and the original source documents recording the collection of the data...| | ||
| - | |Timeliness|Datasets released by the government should be available to the public in a timely fashion. Whenever feasible, information collected by the government should be released as quickly as it is gathered and collected. Priority should be given to data whose utility is time sensitive...| | ||
| - | |Ease of Physical and Electronic Access|Datasets released by the government should be as accessible as possible with accessibility defined as the ease with which information can be obtained whether through physical or electronic means...| | ||
| - | |Machine Readability|...information should be stored in widely used file formats that easily lend themselves to machine processing...| | ||
| - | |Non-discrimination|Datasets released by the government should be " | ||
| - | |Use of Commonly Owned Standards|Commonly owned (or " | ||
| - | |Licensing|The imposition of "Terms of Service" | ||
| - | |Permanence|The capability of finding information over time is referred to as permanence. Information released by the government online should be sticky: It should be available online in archives in perpetuity...For best use by the public, information made available online should remain online, with appropriate version-tracking and archiving over time.| | ||
| - | |Usage costs|...Most government information is collected for governmental purposes, and the existence of user fees has little to no effect on whether the government gathers the data in the first place. Imposing fees for access skews the pool of who is willing (or able) to access information. It also may preclude transformative uses of the data that in turn generates business growth and tax revenues. | ||
| - | |||
| - | - Linked Open Data Initiative (LOD) | ||
| - | ===E Metadata=== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Facilitates discovery in at least four ways: | ||
| - | * allowing resources to be found by relevant criteria | ||
| - | * identifying resources | ||
| - | * distinguishing dissimilar resources | ||
| - | * giving location information (NISO 2004, p. 1) | ||
| - | |||
| - | NISO (2004) describes three main types of metadata: | ||
| - | - // | ||
| - | - // | ||
| - | - // | ||
| - | |||
| - | ...metadata should be able to perform the following functions (NISO 2004): | ||
| - | * describe what the resources are and what they are about, and organize them according to controlled criteria | ||
| - | * allow resources to be found by relevant criteria, aggregate similar resources, and provide pathways to the location of the desired information | ||
| - | * facilitate metadata exchange and enable interoperability | ||
| - | * provide digital identification and description for archiving and preserving resources | ||

| - | |||
| - | ^Considerations for Catalog 2.0^^ | ||
| - | |Guidance|The traditional catalog operated using an inflexible "exact match paradigm" | ||
| - | |Enriched content and comprehensive scope|Traditional catalogs are mostly limited to whole items, mostly books in print for. Today' | ||
| - | |search flexibility|There are many ways Catalog 2.0 could provide flexible search options. For example, it could limit searches to certain formats, to electronic items only, or to items only available in the local library. It could offer discovery browsing that encourages serendipity or search for related titles. It could also offer " | ||
| - | |evaluation|Many popular search engines generally use relevance rankings to display the closest matches to the search query. Catalog 2.0 might use circulation data to identify the most popular items among users or include reviews or user comments. Borrowing from Amazon, circulation data could be used to suggest items, " | ||
| - | |delivery|The catalog has to deliver items in the same way that Google delivers them - in digital format.| | ||
| - | |user experience/ | ||
| - | |end-user service|Catalog 2.0 should provide users with ways to manipulate the found material such as using bookmarks, the ability to export items to a citation manager, and full-text delivery of digital items, albeit within the bounds of licensing requirements.| | ||
| - | |access to hidden collections|It is a given that next-generation catalogs will reach beyond the walls of the library. However, many libraries also have special collections of their own, sometimes referred to as " | ||
| - | |||

| - | |||
| - | ===== Chapter 07 Information Science: A Service Perspective ===== | ||
| - | ====1 Introduction==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | Vannevar Bush's (1945) seminal article "As We Might Think," | ||
| - | |||
| - | "Given the broad-based needs of business, government, military and research demands for information properly organized and stored, the evolution of documentalists (pre-World War II) into information scientists (post-World War II) focusing on indexing and retrieving information was inevitable." | ||
| - | |||
| - | ====2 The Character of Information Science==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Information Science (IS) has many definitions, | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | "Three features of this definition stand out: (1) a focus on the phenomenon of information regardless of format (e.g., a book, database, or website) or content (e.g., government, business, or personal), (2) attention to the entire information cycle from creation to use, and (3) recognition of the interdisciplinary nature of the field, drawing from scientific, social scientific, and psychological disciples as well as library science." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "Also notable was what was //not// included in the definition: IS is not institution based. Information science comprises a library without walls; its collection is the entire world of information and the information scientist, a term attributed to Farradane in the early 1950s (Summers et al. 1999), was the agent who acquired, organized, and disseminated that information to help people meet their needs, whether practical, theoretical, | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | Bates " | ||
| - | |||
| - | "In Bate's (2007) characterization, | ||
| - | |||
| - | "Bates (1999) identified three "Big Questions" | ||
| - | |||
| - | - The physical question: What are the features and laws of the recorded-information universe? | ||
| - | - The social question: How do people related to, seek, and use information? | ||
| - | - The design question: How can access to recorded information be made most rapid and effective? (p. 1048)." | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | ====3 Defining the Nature of Information==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | - Distinguishing between data, information, | ||
| - | - Data "Data are the building blocks of information and knowledge. In this sense, data are numbers, letters, or symbols. Some data are more readily processed by a computer than others.The term often implies that meaning is as yet absent, or unassigned as in raw data." | ||
| - | |||
| - | - Information " | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The very form of the term, "the action of informing" | ||
| - | |||
| - | "Bates (2006) identified eighteen types or forms of information, | ||
| - | |||
| - | "LIS professionals commonly see information as an aggregation, | ||
| - | |||
| - | - Knowledge (and Wisdom) " | ||
| - | |||
| - | "From our perspective, | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The goal of LIS professionals as agents of an important social institution is to provide the data that becomes information that increases knowledge that results in wisdom to benefit society." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "In sum, there appears to be a conceptual ladder: data are raw and unprocessed; | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | "What leads us to infer that one item is more authoritative than another is referred to as cognitive authority. LIS professionals trust those sources they think have greater cognitive authority." | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The fact is that the Web is redefining what people identify as authoritative." | ||
| - | |||
| - | - The Value of Information and Value-Added Processes | ||
| - | "Part of understanding the nature of information is appreciating its value. Over the centuries, attempts to determine its monetary value have increased. With the industrial society evolving into an information-based society, a new concept emerged -- that information was a product, a commodity with its own value. Accepting this concept led to the assumption that those people, organizations, | ||

| - | ====4 Information Storage and Retrieval==== | ||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Relevance** | ||
| - | |||
| - | "There are at least two aspects of relevance: relevance to the user and relevance to the topic. In the former, the user defines the context for relevance; an item is relevant if the user believes it helps meet the information need. In the latter case, an item is relevant if it is about the subject regardless of a given user (Pao 1989). | ||
| - | |||
| - | - Precision, Recall, and Relevance | ||
| - | "By what criteria should information retrieval systems be evaluated?" | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | "The degree to which a system finds //only// relevant items is a measure of precision." | ||
| - | |||
| - | - Searching Tools | ||
| - | |||
| - | "Since the development of electronic databases, the search strategy most often used in library settings was Boolean logic which combined search terms with various operators such as " | ||
| - | |||
| - | - Database and File Structure | ||
| - | |||
| - | Davis and Shaw (2001) defiend a database as "a collection of data that is stored to facilitate addition, updates, deleting, and access (p. 101)." | ||
| - | |||
| - | " | ||
| - | |||
| - | "Four common types of database structures:" | ||
| - | ==== Four Common Structures of Database Design ==== | ||
| - | ^Structure^Definition^ | ||
| - | |**Flat files**|These files contain text only. They have no special features and they don't provide any support for searching them. These files store simple data that are not often altered.| | ||
| - | |**Relational**|These are the most common databases searched in libraries because they can provide answers for complicated queries. They permit searching based on specific criteria. (Davis and Shaw 2011).| | ||
| - | |**Spreadsheets**|LIS professionals also frequently use spreadsheets. Row and columns of data are displayed and users can massage the data using formulas and other analytical tools. Updating is expected and generally easy to do. When new data is entered the entire spreadsheet is updated to reflect the new values entered. Unlike relationship databases, the database can respond only to simple queries. In addition, due to the high probability of input errors, the output might be less reliable.| | ||
| - | |**Object-Relational**|These databases are relational but with extra features. In object-oriented databases "data is stored as objects" | ||
| - | |||
| - | Database structure determines: | ||
| - | - the types of information | ||
| - | - the nature of the vocabulary | ||
| - | - identifies fields and subfields | ||
| - | - directs what can be retrieved | ||
| - | - can restrict the search by relevance | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | - Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) | ||
| - | |||
| - | "HCI is the field within information science that specifically focuses on the point of contact between people and computers. HCI is 'a discipline concerned with the study, design, construction and implementation of human-centric interactive computer systems' | ||
| - | |||
| - | "HCI is a very broad discipline that encompasses different specialities with different concerns regarding computer development: | ||
| - | |||
| - | HCI activities today are shaped by many of the following developments (Hewitt et al. 2009): | ||
| - | * the widespread use of computers | ||
| - | * the heterogeneity of devices | ||
| - | * widespread access to the Internet | ||
| - | * growth of group activities | ||
| - | * demand for flexibility | ||
| - | * networked communications and "the cloud" | ||
| - | * the rise of effective natural language processing | ||
| - | |||
| - | Challenges for NLP: | ||
| - | * speech recognition | ||
| - | * command recognition | ||
| - | * content analysis and representation | ||
| - | * system interaction | ||
| - | |||
| - | "LIS professionals need to be conversant with HCI developments and participate in HCI research and applications whenever possible." | ||

| - | **Rubin 408-->** "Under capitalism, information can be viewed as a form of private property that provides a competitive edge. Insofar as it can be held privately, there is a strong incentive for individuals to discover information and use it to create new products and services. On the other hand, the democratic values of American society promote the free flow of information and access to it both as a right and as essential to a free society" | ||
