Contributing Hebrew Name Headings to NACO: A Participant's View

Princeton University Libraries have undergone several phases over the years regarding authority work. This paper focuses on Princeton's treatment of Hebrew name headings within the framework of authority work in general, prior to and following the library's involvement in the NACO (National Coordinated Cataloging Operations) project. The paper deals with the following topics: the methods used at Princeton for authority work before the involvement with NACO in 1980; the stages of Princeton's involvement with NACO after 1980 (including production data); procedures developed at Princeton to facilitate authority work, enhance efficiency, and guarantee quality control in all production levels; personnel involved in authority work; the process undertaken to become an independent contributor of Hebrew name headings; the workflow of Hebrew name headings and the principles applied in establishing Hebrew name headings; and plans for the future

Modelling the Structure and Dynamics of Science Using Books

Scientific research is a major driving force in a knowledge based economy. Income, health and wellbeing depend on scientific progress. The better we understand the inner workings of the scientific enterprise, the better we can prompt, manage, steer, and utilize scientific progress. Diverse indicators and approaches exist to evaluate and monitor research activities, from calculating the reputation of a researcher, institution, or country to analyzing and visualizing global brain circulation. However, there are very few predictive models of science that are used by key decision makers in academia, industry, or government interested to improve the quality and impact of scholarly efforts. We present a novel 'bibliographic bibliometric' analysis which we apply to a large collection of books relevant for the modelling of science. We explain the data collection together with the results of the data analyses and visualizations. In the final section we discuss how the analysis of books that describe different modelling approaches can inform the design of new models of science.Comment: data and large scale maps http://cns.iu.edu/2015-ModSci.html, Ginda, Michael, Andrea Scharnhorst, and Katy B\"orner.

Dare to be "Deweyless": An Evaluation of BISAC-based Headings in Public Libraries

Since 2007, a handful of public libraries across the United States have replaced Dewey Decimal Classification with a "bookstore arrangement" in order to meet the needs of users who have demonstrated browsing preferences. This paper looks at the implementation of BISAC-based headings used to arrange the collections at the Maricopa Library District in Arizona, the Rangeview Library District in Colorado, and the Frankfort Public Library District in Illinois. A multi-methods approach was employed: 1.) a content analysis was conducted to analyze the availability and characteristics of BISAC headings and to provide a sample of headings taken from the online catalogs of the three aforementioned library districts, and 2.) an evaluative survey was distributed for participants to evaluate the BISAC-based headings. The fifteen participants, a mix of both users and librarians, indicated that they favored headings that were more specific, however, there is a need for continued research on the use of BISAC headings to arrange the collections of public libraries
