Overview
Key facts
It is certainly the case that issues that used to be of interest mainly to librarians are now of interest to a much broader range of professionals.
Aberystwyth University's Information Organisation and Retrieval course provides an introduction to the principles and practices of knowledge organisation and retrieval. It introduces a number of theoretical approaches before examining conventional knowledge organisation solutions such as cataloguing standards, classification schemes and thesauri.Programme Structure
- The approach taken is analytical and critical, historicising specific solutions and contextualising with reference to principles and theory. More recent solutions such as metadata, taxonomies and emerging frameworks and standards such as RDA and FRBR are also explored. In addition, the course discusses alternative approaches to the management and retrieval of digital documentation such as tagging and crowd-sourcing. The couse includes many suggested readings on a range of topics so that students can follow up on areas that are of particular interest to them.
