Introduction
"Classification and subject retrieval in the 21st century"
"You can't make jelly without a mould"
Dear all,
The CIG conference 2008 web pages are now available at:
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/events/CIG/2008/conf-glasgow/
Online booking is now open.
135 years after Melvil Dewey first had the idea for his classification
scheme and with the exponential growth of new information storage and
retrieval systems we are still wrestling with finding the right way to get
things in order - on the shelves and in those very systems - and then to
enable people to find them when they search. This conference is intended
to explore current developments in classification and subject retrieval.
The conference programme will cover both the longstanding methods - such
as traditional classification schemes - right up to social networking
and 'bleeding edge' ideas. The conference will also include the CIG AGM
and Annual Standards Forum.
Following a call for papers, the conference programme is now in place.
Papers will be considered for publication in Catalogue and Index following
the conference. Powerpoint or similar presentation files, that accompany
papers, will be published on the CIG website.
The varied programme of presentations and updates on standards will be
complemented by opportunities to network with fellow professionals.
