PIDapalooza - the festival of persistent identifiers!
by Subbiah Arunachalam 16 Aug '17

16 Aug '17

Scientists and scholars, whom the LIS community serves, will benefit immensely if all researchers and institutions have unique identifiers (such as ORCID iD for individuals and doi for documents). As a scientometricist, I have faced the problem of disambiguation of names of authors and institutions for more than three decades.. A meeting on this subject is scheduled to take place in Catalonia (Spain) in January next year. Here is a message from Ms Alice Meadows. Regards. Arun From: "Meadows, Alice" <a.meadows(a)orcid.org> Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2017 11:59:12 -0400 I'm delighted to announce the second PIDapalooza - the open festival for scholarly research persistent identifiers (PIDs), organized by California Digital Library, Crossref, DataCite, and ORCID - which will take place in Girona, Spain on January 23-24, 2018. The program will include a mixture of PID demos, workshops, brainstorming, updates on the state of the art, and more -- and we invite your contributions. The program committee will review all suggestions received by September 18 and we’ll let you know whether you’ve been successful by the first week of October. What is PIDapalooza? It is a place to come share your ideas with a crowd of like-minded persistent identifier innovators, and help us spread the word about PIDs in your community! It will be a very laid-back and welcoming atmosphere with energetic and exciting rapid fire sessions with both a sociable and serious tone. PIDapalooza 2018 will be just like the first one in Reykjavik, but even better! Where: Auditori Palau de Congressos de Girona, Passeig de la Devesa, 35, Girona, Catalonia, Spain When: 23rd and 24th January 2018 Short form to submit session(s). Deadline: September 18 We’ll be posting more information about the festival lineup on the PIDapalooza website and on Twitter (@PIDapalooza) in the coming weeks. We hope to see you in January!

PRECIS (Preserved Context Index System)
by Salman Haider 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

PRECIS (PRESERVED CONTEXT INDEX SYSTEM) <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/08/precis-preserved-context-…> - PRECIS is an acronym for PREserved Context Index System or PREserved Context Indexing System. PRECIS is a computer assisted pre-coordinate subject indexing system developed by Derek Austin in 1968 as a result of long research which the Classification Research Group (CRG) undertook to give a new general classification for information control. In 1969 British librarians Derek Austin and Peter Butcher issued PRECIS: A rotated subject index system, published by the Council of the British National Bibliography. This appears to be the first published report on an innovative method for adding subject data in the form of descriptors to the computerized MARC record. This system is considered as the most important development in alphabetical approach to subject specification in recent years. The system aims at providing an alphabetical subject index which is able to cater to the variant approaches of the users along with their context. In order to achieve this objective, the system arranges the components of a document, into a significant sequence, thus, all the important components in the string are used as approach points. Simultaneously, the terms are displayed in such a fashion that every term is related to the next term in a context dependent way. Moreover, the system is amenable to computer operation, which further adds to the advantage of the system as the entries will be prepared and arranged automatically by the computer. *Contents* - PRECIS (Preserved Context Index System) - Essential Features of PRECIS - Concept of PRECIS - PRECIS Indexing Procedure - Primary Operators - Secondary Operators - Primary Codes - Format of Entry - Filing Order - Conclusion READ MORE: PRECIS (Preserved Context Index System) <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/08/precis-preserved-context-…> ALSO SHARED IN: Library and Information Science Articles and News in 2017 <https://librarianshipstudies.blogspot.com/2017/04/library-and-information-s…> Salman Haider Librarian Cataloger Blogger -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
