Organization of Information LSIS Summer II (2005)

Organization: A Human Endeavor Information (noun) Knowledge (noun)

Information 1. The act of informing or the condition of being informed; communication of knowledge. 2. Knowledge derived from study, experience, or instruction. 3. Knowledge of a specific event or situation; news; word. 4. A service or facility for supplying facts or news.

Knowledge The state or fact of knowing. 2. Familiarity, awareness, or understanding gained through experience or study. 3. That which is known; the sum or range of what has been perceived, discovered, or inferred.

Humans and Information Humans have a basic instinct to organize. Organization is the applied fundamental concept to retrieving information. Information is organized, so that it can be put to use in many different instances. Organization of information results into collections of usable records for future civilizations.

Organization of Recorded Information In Theory In Practice –Identifying the existence of all types of information- bearing entities as they are made available. Publishers' announcements announcements Reviews Books-in-print Catalogs

Organization of Recorded Information In Theory In Practice –Identifying the works contained within those information- bearing entities or as parts of them. An author's collection of writings: short stories, essays, plays, poems A personal biography containing: letters, notes, speeches, diaries.

Organization of Recorded Information In Theory In Practice –Systematically pulling together these information- bearing entities into collections. libraries archives museums internet web sites office collections of files and documents (LAN) genealogical societies personal collections

Organization of Recorded Information In Theory In Practice –Producing lists of these information- bearing entities prepared according to standard rules for citation. bibliographies indexes library catalogs (OPACs) museum registers

Organization of Recorded Information In Theory In Practice –Providing name, title, subject, and other useful access to these information- bearing entities. Keyword searching Searching a collection (database) that has a controlled vocabulary structure: titles, names, subjects. Authority control - variations in spelling, forms of names, synonymous and related terms.

Organization of Recorded Information In Theory In Practice –Providing the means of locating each information-bearing entity or a copy of it. Union catalogs that represent the holdings of a group, or single library. Online library databases that provide the physical location and circulation status of material(s).

The Approach to the Organization of Information in Different Environments Libraries Archives Museums and Art Galleries The Internet Data Administration and Office Environments

Libraries have the longest tradition of organizing information for the purpose of retrieval for future civilizations. rely on the efforts of collection development to fulfill their missions. when materials are received they are physically arranged and classified information is almost always entered in the MARC (Machine Readable Format), where it becomes electronically retrievable in the form of union catalogs (i.e. OCLC, TRLN, WNCLN, UNC Coastal Library Consortium, etc.)

Archives usually consist of unique items. are not as standardized as libraries. preserve records of enduring value that document organizational or personal activities accumulated in the course of daily life and work. Archive materials are organized and described in groups. Materials are arranged by the basic principles of provenance and original order. collections are generally located in closed stacks areas, where the staff has the greatest amount of access.

Museums and Art Galleries Collections are usually maintained in a closed stacks area, only accessible to staff. Items are usually numbered (accessioned) in matter that makes them retrievable. vast majority of the collections of museums and art galleries consist of visual material in two- or three- dimensional form. Collections are less standardized and as a result are less likely to be retrieved electronically as are library or archive collections.

The Internet Search engines, designed primarily by computer theorists, scientist, and programmers, are retrieval tools on the WWW that matches keywords input by a user to words found at web sites. More effective search engines incorporate the theories and technologies that provide for: Boolean searching, cluster querying, information extraction, pre- coordination of terms, post coordination of terms, relevance search results. Human indexers are also used (Yahoo!). Web sites are classified into broad and narrow subject areas.

Data Administration and Office Environments Office environments rely on the applied concepts related to data administration, the control of the explosion of electronic information in offices and other administrative settings. Fiscal information, human resources information, physical resources information are all maintained within a internal database and network environment. Organized administrative settings rely heavily on a structure (network) dedicated to directories, files, programs, and field names.
