Facets of Knowledge Organization: Proceedings of the ISKO UK Second Biennial Conference, 4-5 July, 2011, London

摘要

This collection of papers celebrates the achievements of the late Brian Vickery, a prominent scholar in the fields of information organisation and retrieval, and a leading member of the Classification Research Group in the 1950s and 1960s. The content reflects the variety of interests pursued by Vickery over his career, and the various flavours of knowledge organisation research for which the International Society of Knowledge Organization (ISKO) serves as an umbrella. All papers from the conference have been included, plus abstracts for papers that presumably did not get written up, as well as a selection of papers by or about Vickery himself.
