__**Charles Cutter (1837-1903)**__

__Charles Cutter was a librarian, renowned for his work in library classification systems. Cutter graduated from Harvard in 1854 and shortly thereafter became a librarian at Harvard. He eventually became the librarian for the Boston Athenaeum Library. (Stromgren, 2004) Cutter instigated several library initiatives that are still used today. Cutter and his colleague, Dr. Ezra Abbott, developed the index card system. Previously catalogs were in larger volumes, and were therefore not updated regularly. The index cards made the addition of items much easier and less expensive (Stromgren, 2004).__

__Cutter is best known for laying the foundations of modern cataloguing. Written in 1867, //The Rules of Dictionary Catalogue// outlined three 'rules' of cataloguing which were eventually taken into account when the Paris Principles were created in 1961 at the International Conference on Cataloguing Principles (Taylor & Joudrey, 2008).__

__Cutter also created his own classification system, the Cutter Expansive Classification system. Although this system is rarely used by libraries today, Charles Cutter is still represented in the classification of items. The Cutter Number, often used in the LC Classification system, is an alpha-numeric tool that represents words or names. (Stromgren, 2004)__

 =**Association Fran**ç**aise de Normalisation / The French National Organization for Standardization**=

Established in 1926, AFNOR is an association governed by the law of 1901, consisting of nearly 2500 member companies. Its aim is to lead and coordinate the standards development process and to promote the application of those standards.Recognized by the public authorities (who entrusted the Ministry in charge of industry with the task of ensuring interministerial coordination and control functions), AFNOR is at the hub of the French standardization system. Bringing together all the major socio-economic players, AFNOR is alert to their needs and cooperates closely with the 25 standards bureaus and the other professional bodies in developing a set of standards that meet their strategic objectives.
 * About AFNOR**

As a service provider, AFNOR has developed a variety of deliverables - for companies in particular - which, ranging from the distribution of standards to certification, including training, helps in a practical way to integrate standards into the company's development. AFNOR has concentrated its commercial and competitive activities within specialised subsidiaries by creating AFNOR Certification and AFNOR Compétences in the training area. AFNOR is represented throughout France and abroad. (International Organization for Standardization, 2010)  · Turnover: ** M€ 124 **(at 31/12/08) · Workforce: ** 1,216 ** including ** 280 **registered abroad · ** 13 ** regional delegations · ** 28 ** agencies worldwide · Business ties with ** 90 ** countries · ** 20,000 ** people enrolled in standards-setting · ** 1,600 ** auditors and educators

Cataloguing Rules:
French national cataloguing rules are established by AFNOR which are globally based on the Paris Principles defined in 1961//(//// International Federation of Library Associations // and Institutions, 2010). AFNOR commission that is responsible for cataloguing rules is open to participation by any French library, in practice it has consisted chiefly of representatives from the Bibliothèque Nationale, a few large Parisian libraries, and the two central government administrative bodies responsible for French public and university libraries. AFNOR rules are not the only ones currently used in France. In recent years a number of French university libraries have joined either the OCLC or the Swiss SIBIL network. These libraries utilize, respectively, AACR2R or Swiss Library Association rules (Jacobowitz, 1995, p. 50).

Alexandria, located in Ancient Egypt was the epicenter for scholarship in the classical world. During the Ptolemaic Dynasty (332 BCE-30 CE) the Royal Library of Alexandria was built (229 BCE). The library's objective was to possess all the world's knowledge. The library contained over 400,000 scrolls copied by prominent scholars from around the world. The first chief librarian was Demetrius Phalereus who was in charge of collection. Callimachus was the first bibliographer who established the first set of rules of classification. He also developed the first subject catalog. The scientific method still in use today was also developed at the library. The library was in existence for more then 4 centuries. It's destruction is mired in legend and speculation. It is believed that it was accidentally set on fire by Julius Ceasar (48 BCE), and then further depleted by the Emperors Aurelian and Theodosius (391 CE) when Paganism was made illegal. The final blow being it's capture and burning by a moslem army in 642 CE.

French: Codicologie (Office de la langue française du Québec, 1973) Codicology is the study of the "codex" and, in particular, the physical makeup and modes of production of a given volume. Among the considerations in the study of codicology are the following (listed here in note form):
 * Codicology**

(Reimer, 1998)
 * papyrus rolls and reed pens
 * history of changes in inks (chemical composition of the ink can be useful in dating a document)
 * use of parchment and invention of the codex (during second to fourth centuries) (the study of the "codex" is "codicology"); unlike papyrus, which had to be stored in rolls to prevent the reeds from breaking apart, and as a consequence had no pagination, the pages of a codex allow for a kind of "random access" to the contents of the book which papyrus rolls could not achieve
 * strictly speaking, parchment is the skin of a sheep or goat, while vellum designates skin from a calf (cf. "veal"), but the terms were often used synonymously even in the Middle Ages (when such distinctions presumably mattered in terms of quality, cost, and use). As a result, the terms come to be frequently used merely to designate degrees of quality: thus "vellum" is used to designate "fine" parchment, whatever the animal of origin, and "parchment" can be used as the more general term for all types of skin prepared for use as a writing surface
 * development of paper manufacturing in later Middle Ages; modern history of paper-making moves from handmade sheets to mass production, and towards greater varieties of papers designed for different purposes
 * parchment gradually replaced by paper in fifteenth century, though parchment continues to be used for "special" books, and many paper books in the fifteenth century use the more durable parchment for the outer leaves of quires
 * history of book binding
 * quill pens; pen knives and other "accessories"; questions of material production
 * folding and division of leaves into quires; consideration of size and format, especially as infuencing contents and layout
 * page layout (mise-en-page): the organization of the page; the number of columns, the size of margins, the placement of miniatures, the decorative elements, the placement of commentary (if any) in relation to the placement of the main text
 * the presence of marginalia; the presence of glosses
 * palimpsest: writing material from which something has been erased, sometimes to reuse the surface for some other writing (where a complete book has been erased and overwritten, it is a "codex rescriptus")
 * ordinatio: the disposition of the parts of the text in the manuscript more generally; the methods of marking text divisions (books, chapters), etc.
 * the scriptorium (monastic; gradual rise from fourteenth century of commercial book production)
 * production of manuscripts by a "pecia" system (quire by quire); assembling manuscripts for sale out of available "booklets"
 * illumination of manuscripts
 * scribal practices:
 * what sources did the scribe use, and what changes did the scribe make to those sources?
 * was the book conceived as a single unit and produced from a unitary plan? or was it assembled from parts which were themselves originally separate and conceived as units? (questions of book type: single texts? or miscellanies, commonplace books, anthologies, accidental or planned compilations?) when and under what influences were the separate parts of the book brought together and bound together as a single book?
 * what is known of the particular scribe or more generally of the scriptorium within which a book was produced, and the material conditions of book production there?
 * book collections and libraries; library history (monasteries and cathedrals among the oldest libraries; universities and the acquisition of books for scholarship; development of the royal library in fifteenth-century England
 * history of readers and reading, and of literary tastes: who is reading or collecting what books and why? the use of library catalogues and other records, of wills that indicate what books were passed down as part of an inheritance, marks of ownership in books
 * invention of the printing press (though manuscript culture thrives for several centuries after Gutenberg)
 * xylographic printing, perhaps brought from China
 * Gutenberg and invention of movable type (1450s); coming of printing press to England (Westminster) with William Caxton (1470s)
 * Caxton and his successors: Wynkyn de Worde, Richard Pynson, Robert Copland, etc.
 * continued development of typesetting from movable type to hot metal to computer; modern developments in the arts of type design and page layout

 * Marius Barbeau**

His pioneer work for Canada in the fields of anthropology and folk culture has won him international acclaim. During his fieldwork, Barbeau collected, studied and described Indian myths, ceremonials, language, music, arts and culture; French-Canadian folk tales, songs, art, games, handicrafts and architecture. He was an avid collector both for the public collection and for his private collection. He collected from French Canada some 400 folk tales and around 7000 songs along with 2000 artifacts from across Canada. His writings total over 1000 books and articles and he was more than 30 linear meters of research notes. Barbeau was really active in professional societies as a way to preserve and popularize Canadian culture and heritage. It was one of his main goals throughout his career. Barbeau was the first in Canada to document precisely the location and the date of collection and the singer's name for each song he gathered. He was also the first to transcribe the tunes in a precise manner and to comment on the structure and the semantics.

**Frederick Gridley Kilgour**

Frederick Gridley Kilgour was born in Springfield, Massachusetts on January 6, 1914. He earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Harvard in 1935. He then joined the Harvard University Library as an assistant to the director where he began experimenting with automating library procedures using computer punch cards.

During World War 2 Kilgour worked in the Interdepartmental Committee for the Acquisition of Foreign Publications (IDC), part of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). The IDC developed a system of collecting publications from enemy and enemy-occupied territories.

In 1967 he became the executive officer to the Ohio College Library Center (OCLC), later renamed Online Computer Library Center. His mission was to develop the OCLC, which began by pooling the catalogs of 54 academic libraries in Ohio state. By 1977 the OCLC had expanded to libraries outside of Ohio. Today the OCLC comprises catalogs of more than 72,000 libraries worldwide.

Kilgour states that the OCLC’s long-term goals have been:

1) To increase availability of library resources to library patrons,

2) To lower the rate of rise of library per-unit costs.

“To achieve these goals, an online cataloging system that reduced cataloging costs and simultaneously produced an online union catalog that revealed location of books and journals in participatory libraries was designed, constructed, and activated on August 26, 1971.” (Kilgour, n.d.)

 * Henriette Avram**

Henriette Avram trained as a systems analyst, worked at the National Security Agency and then at a software firm. In 1965, she began working at the Library of Congress, where she remained for 26 years. Originally assigned to analyze cataloguing data to determine how it could be manipulated by computer, she realized that automation could not be fully accomplished without a standard for the communication of bibliographic data. The MARC pilot project was set up in 1966 (Rather & Wiggins, 1989, p. 856). In 1968, Avram developed the first Machine-Readable Cataloging format (MARC) (Taylor & Joudrey, 2009, p. 139). She continued to refine MARC until her retirement in 1992 (ALA, 2006). In 1970, MARC was adopted by the Library of Congress, where bibliographic records were recorded on magnetic tape (Library Journal, 2006). In 1973, MARC became the international standard according to the International Standards Organization (Rather & Wiggins, 1989, p. 857), to be adopted by most large libraries within a decade (ALA, 2006). In 1980, Avram was named the Library of Congress' first director for processing systems, networks, and automation planning (ALA, 2006). In 1983, she became assistant librarian for processing service, and in 1989 the associate librarian for collection services, overseeing a staff of 1700 people, and taking responsibility for most of LC's networking and automation (Library Journal, 2006). By all accounts, Avram had exceptional skills in leadership and in coordinating teams toward a common goal. She retired in 1992.

Another of Avram's major achievements was a process for format recognition: a "technique enabling the computer automatically to assign tags, indicators, subfield codes, and fixed-field codes to machine-readable records". This was developed as the RECON project in 1969, and was designed to "test the practicability of a centralized source for the retrospective conversion of records". Had the project been continued and fully funded, the project could have converted records back to 1898. This project would have made a considerable difference in later (and current) archiving efforts (Rather & Wiggins, 1989, p. 857).

 * 1971: American Library Association’s Margaret Mann Citation in Cataloging and Classification
 * 1974: Federal Women’s Award
 * 1977: Honourary doctor of science from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville

“The Resources and Technical Services Division honored me with the Margaret Mann Citation in 1971. I have received other awards since, but the first, the Mann Citation, had the greatest impact. When I was called upon to accept the award, my statements included ‘From the beginning, six years ago, you have welcomed and supported me. Tonight you have gone one step further – you have adopted me.’ It was at that moment, and ever after, that I regarded myself as a librarian.” (Rather & Wiggins, 1989, p. 861) “The automation of library operations is a very complex task. I believe, overall, librarians have done wonders. The very fact that so early on they, as a profession, understood the need for and adopted standards has given them a leadership role in resource sharing. After all, the vision of a bibliographic utility came from a librarian, Fred Kilgour. We must not sit back and be satisfied though – there is much more to do.” (Rather & Wiggins, 1989, p. 861)

 * International Organization for Standardization**
 * Organisation internationale de normalisation**

International Organization for Standardization is an organization that develops standardization for businesses, government and society. ISO is a network of the national standards institutes of 163 countries, with one member per country, and a Central Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, that coordinates the system. ISO is a non-governmental organization that forms a bridge between the public and private sectors. Many of its member institutes are part of the governmental structure of their countries, or are mandated by their goverment. Many other members have are based exclusively in the private sector.

The ISO standards are based on three principles, that it is a **voluntary** organization, that there is **consensus** about what manufacturers, vendors and users, consumer groups, testing laboratories, governments, engineering professions and research organizations want and need and that the standards are **industry wide**.

There are three main phases in the ISO standards development process they are as follows:

There are three types of ISO memberships: the subscriber members, the member bodies and correspondent members. ISO is the world's largest developer and piblisher of International Standards.
 * 1) The need for a standard is usually expressed by an industry sector, which communicates this need to a national member body. The latter proposes the new work item to ISO as a whole. Once the need for an International Standard has been recognized and formally agreed, the first phase involves definition of the technical scope of the future standard. This phase is usually carried out in working groups which comprise technical experts from countries interested in the subject matter.
 * 2) Once agreement has been reached on which technical aspects are to be covered in the standard, a second phase is entered during which countries negotiate the detailed specifications within the standard. This is the consensus-building phase.
 * 3) The final phase comprises the formal approval of the resulting draft International Standard (the acceptance criteria stipulate approval by two-thirds of the ISO members that have participated actively in the standards development process, and approval by 75% of all members that vote), following which the agreed text is published as an ISO International Standard.

 * Antonio Panizzi **

Antonio Panizzi was born in 1797 in the Duchy of Modena, Italy. He attended the University of Parma where he received his Doctoral degree in Law. He immigrated in 1822 to England where in ten years he became a naturalized Englishman.

**Panizzi’s biggest accomplishments**:

· **The first systematic code of cataloging rules**. Panizzzi has been put in charge of developing a new catalog for the British Museum. To accomplish this task he developed the first systematic code of cataloging rules, known popularly as Panizzi's 91 Rules. According to them, the new catalogue should be strictly alphabetical, arranged under the surname of the author, followed by a complete description. The cross-references are in the core of the new cataloging rules. Panizzi said that “the first and chief object of a catalogue … is to give an easy access to the works which form a part of the collection” (Miller, 1967, p. 116) He also strongly advocated necessity of developing special catalogues, for instance, of rare books. Panizzi’s 91 Rules became the foundation principles of the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules (AACR).

· **The Copyright Act**. While Panizzi occupied post of a Keeper of the Printed Books, he increased more than twice Museum’s holdings - up to 540,000 volumes, which made it the biggest collection of the world at the time. He achieved that by promoting the Copyright Act which demanded from all publishers to deposit a copy of all books they printed in the British Museum. Panizzi played leading role in enforcing the Copyright Act.

· **The Reading room**. In order to make Museum’s library more publicly accessible, Panizzi draw a sketch of the famous Reading Room. Later on it was designed and built by architect Sydney Smirke in 1855. This circular Reading Room is a real master piece.

**Panizzi’s occupied posts**: · The Chair of Italian Language and Literature at University College in London (1828-1831) · An Extra Assistant Librarian in the Department of Printed Books in the British Museum (1831-1837) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">· The Keeper of the Printed Books in the British Museum (1837-1856) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">· The Principal Librarian in the British Museum (1856-1866)

=
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For the enormous work Panizzi has done to improve British library system and for many other achievements, in 1869 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. ======

 * International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD)**

ISBD is a standard that was designed in the early 1970s to facilitate the international exchange of cataloging records by standardizing the elements to be used in the description, assigning an order to those elements, and specifying a system of symbols to be used in punctuating the elements (Taylor & Joudrey, 2009, p. 460-461).

ISBD is used for the description of library materials and includes eight areas. These are as follows: Area 1 - Title and statement of responsibility Area 2 - Edition Area 3 - Material or type of resource specific details Area 4 - Publication, production, distribution, etc. Area 5 - Physical description Area 6 - Series Area 7 - Notes Area 8 - Resource identifier and terms of availability

(Taylor & Joudrey, 2009, p. 206)

Please consult the “Specification of Elements” section of the following link for detailed accounts of each area of description: http://www.ifla.org/files/cataloguing/isbd/isbd-cons_2007-en.pdf

The following link offers extensive ISBD examples. Examples are offered in sixteen different languages and include information resources ranging from maps to music scores. Please note that these examples are in example format, and not the display format. http://www.ifla.org/files/cataloguing/isbd/isbd-examples_2009.pdf

__Key Facts:__ * The scope of CSH is mostly limited to the Canadian cultural, economic, historical, literary, political and social experience, with few subject headings in other fields of study. >

__Contact Information:__
 * Inaugural efforts at a separate list of subject headings for Canadian topics not adequately covered in the // Library of Congress Subject Headings // (LCSH) began in 1968. The first edition produced by the National Library of Canada came out in 1978 followed by further print editions in 1985 and 1992 and regular supplements. // CSH on the Web // was launched in October 2000 using authority records for CSH from AMICUS, the National Library of Canada's database of bibliographic and authority records.
 * For instance, when cataloguing a work on Canadian cabinet ministers, the CSH term “ ** Cabinet ministers--Canada ** ” would be preferable to the LC term, “ ** Cabinet officers—Canada ** ”. (CSH Frequently Asked Questions, 2010)

Le W3C est une communauté internationale qui développe des standards pour assurer une croissance à long terme du web. Le W3C propose également des logiciels (CSS Validator, UNICOR), il s’engage dans l’éducation et il offre un des forums proposant des discussions sur le web. Le W3C a été fondé en 1994 par Tim Berners-Lee (L’inventeur du web) qui travaillait avant au Centre Européen de Recherche Nucléaire (CERN). Le W3C a été fondé au Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Laboratory for Computer Science (MIT/LCS) en collabaoration avec le CERN et avec le support de l’European Commission et de Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Le W3C est hébergé chez trois institutions : MIT (Cambridge, MA, USA), ERCIM (Sophia-Antipolis, France) et à l’université Keio (près de Tokyo, Japon). À partir de 1997, plusieurs bureaux régionaux à travers le monde ont vu le jour où des gens y sont employés à temps plein. La mission du W3C est de développer le Web dans son plus grand potentiel en instaurant des protocoles et des guides à suivre. //Le web pour tout le monde// Le web permet aux utilisateurs d’échanger de l’information, de faire du commerce, mais aussi de partager du savoir. Un des premiers buts de W3C est de rendre ces bénéfices accessibles à tout le monde. Donc, ce n’est pas la culture, la langue parlée ou un problème physique ou mental qui devrait rendre inaccessible ce média aux gens. Par exemple : Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) qui tente d’implémenter des standards pour rendre le web accessible aux gens avec un handicap certain. //Le web sur tout// Comme il y a de plus en plus d’appareils sur lesquels on peut surfer sur le web ( téléphones intelligents, iPod…). Donc, il y a des initiatives pour ces nouveaux services. La vision de W3C pour le web implique la participation et les échanges de savoir. Leur vision est divisée en trois : Le web pour une interaction riche, le web des données et services et le web de la confiance. Ils divisent leur standard en plusieurs catégories : le design web et les applications, l’architecture du web, le web sémantique, la technologie XML, le web des services, le web des appareils, les navigateurs et les outils de création. **Bibliographie** W3C.

** __ Tim Berners-Lee (also known as a TimBL) __ **

Handout by Raissa Plechtchenko (ISI5102 ORGANIZATION OF INFORMATION (Moulaison) U Ottawa Dec. 1, 2010) // The Web is critical not merely to the digital revolution but to our continued prosperity – and even our liberty. Like democracy itself, it needs defending // // (Berners-Lee, 2010). //

Tim was born on 8 of June 1955 in London, England in the family of mathematicians and computer geeks. ** Education: ** Emanuel School in Wandsworth, Queen's College, and Oxford in 1976 with degree in physics. **Professional development:** **1976-1978** – a software engineer with Plessey Telecommunications on distributed systems, message relays, and bar coding. **1978 – 1980** as independent consultant included a six month contract as a consultant software engineer at CERN (//Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucleaire)//. Created first hypertext system named “Enquire”. **1981-1984** - technical designer at John Poole's Image Computer Systems Ltd. **1984 -1993** - CERN software designer. **1994** – joined the Laboratory for Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, founded the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and made a great contribution into development of Semantic Web.
 * **1989** - writes his proposal for a global hypertext system.

 * <span style="background: white; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: Times New Roman; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; tabstops: list .5in; tabstops: list .5in;">**J**** une 1992 ** - CERN sent Berners-Lee on a three month trip through the United States.

His name is associated with the creation and development of semantic web, metadata schemas and standards. He still puts a lot of efforts to make Web effective, open, with royalty-free standards, and successful in helping people to find, identify, and retrieve information. Berners-Lee's contribution to the World Wide Web did not make him super rich like Bill Gates. Instead he remains committed to making the web universally accessible, without patents or royalties due, with the goal of Web to serve humanity and this is his credo, which he passionately follows.

** Publications: **

**1999** - together with Mark Fischetti he wrote the book “Weaving the Web” on the past present and future of the Web. ** Personal life ** Berners-Lee currently lives in Lexington, Massachusetts (USA), is married to Nancy Carlson, and has two children, Alice and Ben. **Numerous awards including** the first Millennium Technology Prize, a Finland-based award for excellence which carries a cash prize of one million Euros in 2004.
