The latest edition of this classic work incorporates changes, both great and small, in the world of cataloging and classification since the turn of the century. Annotation. In the latest edition of this classic work, Arlene Taylor once again offers a complete, up-to-date, and practical guide to the world of cataloging and classification. Since the publication of the ninth and ninth revised editions (2000 and 2004), changes have occurred in almost all areas of the organization of information in general, as well as in cataloging and classification. The tenth edition incorporates the 2002 Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, Second Edition (AACR2), MARC 21, the 22nd edition of Dewey Decimal Classification, current schedules of the LC Classifications, the latest Library of Congress Subject Headings, and the 18th edition of the Sears List of Subject Headings. The bibliography and glossary have also been substantially reworked. In fact, only the appendix, which covers arrangement dilemmas and filing rules, remains unchanged. In addition, Taylor addresses such vital issues as FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records), FAST (Faceted Application of Subject Terminology), and the Semantic Web.

Conclusion -- The First Best Hope for Disabled People: A Letter to Current and Future Librarians / Paul T. Jaeger -- Afterword / S.K. Hastings."Librarians need to understand the needs and abilities of differently abled patrons, and anyone responsible for hiring and managing librarians must know how to provide an equitable environment. This book serves as an educational resource for both groups"--."Understanding the needs and abilities of patrons who are differently abled increases librarians' ability to serve them from childhood through adulthood. While some librarians are fortunate to have had coursework to help them understand the needs and abilities of the differently abled, many have had little experience working with this diverse group. In addition, many persons who are differently abled are--or would like to become--librarians. Disabilities and the Library helps readers understand the challenges faced by people who are differently abled, both as patrons and as information professionals. Readers will learn to assess their library's physical facilities, programming, staff, and continuing education to ensure that their libraries are prepared to include people of all abilities. Inclusive programming and collection development suggestions will help librarians to meet the needs of patrons and colleagues with mobility and dexterity problems, learning differences, hearing and vision limitations, sensory and cognitive challenges, autism, and more. Additional information is included about assistive and adaptive technologies and web accessibility. Librarians will value this accessible and important book as they strive for equity and inclusivity"--

The power of the plan : building a university in historic Columbia, South Carolina / by Galehouse, Richard F.,author.(CARDINAL)853120;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The contemporary American university is many things: a center of traditional undergraduate learning, a focus for scholarship and research, a source of state and local pride and prestige (often due to success on the athletic fields), and an important engine of economic development. The physical place where this all occurs, the campus, conjures familiar images of quadrangles, dorms, lecture halls and libraries, and yes, ivy-covered walls. The best campuses foster a strong sense of place, often through memorable public spaces and a few iconic buildings, and a cohesive and contextually sensitive use of materials. Yet today's campuses are increasingly complicated and intertwined with their surrounding communities, both physically and economically. The modern research university, particularly in its state-flagship form, is a small city in itself, one that must fit within a complementary, but distinct, social and economic milieu. From an urban-planning standpoint, this is a mighty challenge. Addressing the programmatic requirements of the institution itself is hard. Doing so in a way that not only mitigates the impact on the surrounding community, but advances opportunity and quality of life in the metropolitan area is sufficiently complex to have emerged as a distinctive specialty within the urban-planning field. This challenge has also expanded the role of university officials, who must not only raise the resources to help their institution adapt and change but must also develop new leadership skills and organizational capacities in real estate investment and development, planning and urban design, the management and programming of public spaces, and community relations"--
