About the ISBD Review Group. ISBD Review Group (Singapore August 2013) Objectives The main objective of the ISBD Review Group is to maintain the International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD), which is intended to serve as a principal standard to promote universal bibliographic control, to make universally and promptly available, in a form that is internationally acceptable, basic bibliographic data for all published resources in all countries.

About the ISBD Review Group

The ISBD's main goal is, and has been since the very beginning, to offer consistency when sharing bibliographic information. In the ISBD, national bibliographic agencies are called upon to "prepare the definitive description containing all the mandatory elements set out in the ISBD insofar as the information is applicable to the resource being described. " This practice is also recommended for application by libraries that share bibliographic data with each other. Origins of the ISBD The ISBD consolidated edition and FRBR Harmonization.

DDC 22. De la classification à facettes aux sérendipités documentaires. La lecture de l’excellent livre Introduction au sciences de l’information (voilà LE livre de référence pour tout étudiant en info-doc qui se respecte) m’a remis les idées en place sur Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan (1892 – 1972) ce mathématicien et bibliothécaire indien souvent cité comme l’inventeur des 5 lois des bibliothèques : 1 Les livres sont faits pour être utilisés 2 À chaque lecteur son livre 3 À chaque livre son lecteur 4 Épargnons le temps du lecteur 5 Une bibliothèque est un organisme en développement Ouais bon, personnellement je les ai jamais trouvées révolutionnaires ces lois, bien qu’elles soient bonnes à rappeler de temps à autre… En revanche, ce qu’on oublie que c’est que le Sieur Ranganathan est l’inventeur d’un système de classification à facettes, la Classification Colon (CC) qu’il finalise en 1933.

The CLSI company of Boston, Massachusetts, which was later acquired by Geac Computers, of Markham, Ontario, developed the standard 14-digit Codabar labels currently used in many of these libraries around the world. The CLSI Standard replaced the Plessey standard, which had been used widely, as well as many locally-developed schemes. The label begins with a single digit representing the type of entity being described: special command to the library system software a person (i.e. a library patron, staff member...) An item (i.e. a particular copy of a book, tape, disk...) Next comes a 4-digit "agency prefix", which represents the library which owns the item, or to which the patron belongs. The next eight digits are unique to the item upon which the label has been placed.

Finally, the last digit is a "modulus 10 checksum". 1. International Paper Sizes, Formats & Standards Explained. Special Libraries Cataloguing, Inc.
