• W250251785 abstract "The year 1989 saw the publication of new editions of a number of standard subject analysis tools, including the twentieth edition of the Dewey Decimal Classification, the twelfth edition of Library of Congress Subject Headings, and the third edition of LC's Subject Cataloging Manual. The persistence of these and other long-standing guides to subject analysis does not indicate that the field is static; rather, they provide a stable context within which much thoughtful and inventive work is taking place. What follows is a selective survey and bibliography of the past year's library and information science journal literature relating to that work in the field of subject analysis, control, and access. Also included in the bibliography are several surveys similar to this one that appeared in 1989 (Lancaster et al., Taylor, and Wolner). CLASSIFICATION The arrival of DDC 20, with its major revisions of the schedules for Data processing/Computer science and Music, direct index structure, and expansion to four volumes to allow for the addition of a manual, has met with a generally favorable response from reviewers (Intner, Aman). Sanford Berman, however, arguing on behalf of practical necessity, questions the pursuit of a more logical or architecturally superior schedule when that effort significantly disrupts the order of already classified collections (Berman, p.46). As a remedy, Berman calls for better representation from the DDC user community in future editorial decision making. Berman himself receives kinder treatment in a profile by Pendergrast, which recounts Berman's parallel rebellion against the obscure terms and vestiges of racism and imperialism that he finds in LCSH. Both Intner and Aman look forward in their reviews to the advent of DDC in MARC format. The progress toward a new MARC format for classifications at LC is described by Williamson in an article in International Cataloguing and Bibliographic Control. Major issues include whether to store full hierarchical data redundantly on each record or link records with partial data and accept a slower response time, and how to represent numbers currently in tables. Full data storage and the elimination of separate, referenced tables appear to have the edge. The involvement of DDC staff at LC in this project promises a format adaptable for a variety of classification systems. Williamson also reported in 1989 on a conference held in November of 1988 at SUNY Albany, Classification in the Computer Age. Presenters there included Irene Travis discussing artificial intelligence techniques to assist the work of classifiers; Elaine Svenonius on the need for an ideal classification system to be both hierarchical and polyhierarchical, faceted and enumerative; Karen Markey reporting on the mixed success of a project to derive class number captions from subject headings commonly associated with them; Williamson on the varied uses anticipated for the proposed MARC classification format; Francis Miksa calling for a return from current classification practices driven by literary warrant to the classification of concepts; and Richard Halsey on the need for theoretical as well as practical study of classification in library education. Williamson notes that conference proceedings are being prepared for publication. Meanwhile, the major classifications in their present form have not been ignored. Iwuji demonstrates the gross inadequacies of both LCC and DDC in their treatment of African religion, history, ethnography, social sciences, languages, and literatures. Still, Iwuji argues against abandoning the standard systems for a separate Africana-classification, calling instead for a coordinated effort at revision of LCC and DDC. Pacey makes a similar case against the scattering of third-world literatures that results from DDC's classing literature first by language, perpetuating imperialist attitudes toward third-world cultures. …" @default.
