Reviews

The perfect resource. . . . The further I delved into its contents, the more impressed I was by the depth and comprehensiveness of its treatment of the world of information organization in all its aspects. . . . I would recommend this book not only to students of library and information science who are seeking to master cataloging and metadata, but also to library professionals at all stages of their careers who simply need a resource to which they can refer to help navigate a universe that is ever changing and expanding. - Technicalities The fourth edition of The Organization of Information is an essential text that is worthy of its predecessors. - ARBA


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. - Against the Grain ...a foundational work that will serve as an excellent information organization course text in programs of library and information science. It would also serve as a useful desk reference for a librarian or student of library science. - Technical Services Quarterly The perfect resource. . . .
