  • Cataloging and Indexing

    Creator:
    Sapon-White, Richard
    Abstract:
    Remote-access computer file serials, often referred to simply as electronic serials, possess characteristics that challenge our definition of the term “serial” and our ability to catalog them according to the established cataloging code. These challenges are reflected in the library science literature, where cataloging and indexing issues have generated thoughtful...

  • “Straight to the Heart of Things”— Reflecting on Library Metaphors for Impact and Assessment

    Creator:
    Stoddart, Richard A.
    Abstract:
    This paper explores the use and creative application of library metaphors. Unfortunately, the facts aren’t always able to speak for themselves. Simply stating reference statistics, gate counts, and resource circulation numbers are not persuasive narratives in and of themselves. Voice and context needs to be given to these forms of...

  • Chapter 2: The Consumption and Production of Fisheries Information in the Digital Age

    Creator:
    Webster, Janet G. and Uhlinger, Eleanor
    Abstract:
    Fisheries scientists persistently create, communicate, and use information. In fact, if they did not, there would be no fisheries science. To exist, science must be part of a continuum where shared information, from casual hallway communications to rigorously reviewed articles, documents the questions asked and the solutions suggested. Relevant information...

    Creator:
    Avery, Bonnie E.
    Abstract:
    A broad definition of forestry would include the study of trees and forests and their use by people. Modern, "science-based" forestry began in the nineteenth century when Europeans looked for specialists who could address questions on wood supply and extraction both at home and in their colonies. The threat of...
