Abstract

Provides a history of alphabetization, from the Library of Alexandria to Wikipedia. The story of alphabetical order has been shaped by some of history's most compelling characters, such as industrious and enthusiastic early adopter Samuel Pepys and dedicated alphabet champion Denis Diderot. But though even George Washington was a proponent, many others stuck to older forms of classification — Yale listed its students by their family's social status until 1886. And yet, while the order of the alphabet now rules — libraries, phone books, reference books, even the order of entry for the teams at the Olympic Games — it has remained curiously invisible. Flanders traces the triumph of alphabetical order and offers a compendium of Western knowledge, from A to Z. --From publisher description.

Abstract

Anerkanntermaßen stellt das Konzept des Knowledge Management einen entscheidenden Gewinn für den Informationsprofi dar. Management-Theorien betonen immer die wichtige Rolle von Bibliotheken und Bibliothekare in der Praxis von Organisationen (Unternehmen, Städte aber auch die gesamte Gesellschaft). Die in diesem Band enthaltenen Beiträge demonstrieren dies aus der Sicht der Bibliotheken. In diesen Beiträgen werden grundlegende Implikationen des Knowledge Management als zentralem Arbeitsfeld in Bibliotheken diskutiert, Grundsatzfragen und Methoden analysiert und praktische Beispiele untersucht. Unter den Autoren finden sich beispielsweise Larry Prusak, James Matarazzo, Michael Koenig, Rafael Capurro, Susan Henczel, Irene Wormell und Rainer Kuhlen. Das Buch vereint 18 wichtige Texte zum Thema: z. B. aus IFLA-Workshops und -Konferenzen, aber auch aus anderen Quellen, wie beispielsweise der SLA (Special Libraries Association). It is a widely accepted that Knowledge Management constitutes a key asset for the information professional. Management theory has always pointed to the fact that libraries and librarians in particular play an important role in an organization (be it an enterprise, a city, or a society as a whole). The papers collected in this volume demonstrate why and how - from the libraries' perspective. They discuss some fundamental implications of Knowledge Management as a key activity area for libraries, analyse key issues and instruments and give some best practice examples. Among the contributing authors the reader will find Larry Prusak, James Matarazzo, Michael Koenig, Rafael Capurro, Susan Henczel, Irene Wormell and Rainer Kuhlen. The book brings together eighteen important texts for the topic not only from IFLA workshops and conferences but also from other sources such as the SLA (Special Libraries Association). The inclusion of several original contributions makes this reader essential for all concerned with the future role of the library in business and society.
