Professional Practice & DevelopmentRecenzii
"Situating the content within an historical context and a using variety of scientific and humanistic examples, the author provides a comprehensive overview of a broad topic that can be difficult for students of library and information science to understand ... The author brings his expertise in the theory of knowledge organization and knowledge organization systems to the creation of a relatively easy-to-read text that has great philosophical depth as well as practical application. ”
— Technical Services Quarterly
"Gnoli illustrates how theory and practice of the KOS (Knowledge Organization System) changed over time, starting from early civilization, then moving through the ancient East, ancient Greece, the Middle Ages, and the modern times ... [This book] provides a comprehensive historical, foundational, and theoretical background of the concept while demonstrating practical application of KOSs in this ever-changing time and discipline. It is highly recommended for any librarian who wants to have an overall understanding and get ready for the new changes.”
