ODLIS — Online Dictionary for Library and Information Science

In classification, one of the distinguishing characteristics of a class, identified as a means of differentiating it from other classes. As defined in FRBR (Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records), one of a set of characteristics enabling users of information to formulate queries and evaluate responses when searching for information about a specific entity. Attributes can be inherent in the entity (physical characteristics, labeling information, etc.) or supplied by an external agent (assigned identifiers, contextual information, etc.). For example, the logical attributes of a creative work include its title, form, date of creation, intended audience, etc. As a general rule, a given instance of an entity exhibits a single value for each attribute, but multiple values are possible (a work may be published under more than one title or in more than one form), or a value may change over time (date of publication for serials).

Information As Thing – Claudia Chui “Three meanings of ‘information’ are distinguished: ‘Information-as-process’; ‘information-as-knowledge’; and ‘information-as-thing…’” -Michael K. Buckland Even Michael Buckland, emeritus professor at the UC Berkeley School of Information, admits that the irony of the term information is that it “is itself ambiguous and used in different ways”. 1. Information is an act of informing. 2. Information is “that which is perceived”. 3. Information is texts, data, real life events, objects, and documents. Claudia Chui Is Google Making Us Stupid? - Nicholas Carr Illustration by Guy Billout "Dave, stop. Stop, will you? I can feel it, too. I think I know what’s going on. For me, as for others, the Net is becoming a universal medium, the conduit for most of the information that flows through my eyes and ears and into my mind. I’m not the only one. Bruce Friedman, who blogs regularly about the use of computers in medicine, also has described how the Internet has altered his mental habits. Anecdotes alone don’t prove much. It is clear that users are not reading online in the traditional sense; indeed there are signs that new forms of “reading” are emerging as users “power browse” horizontally through titles, contents pages and abstracts going for quick wins. Thanks to the ubiquity of text on the Internet, not to mention the popularity of text-messaging on cell phones, we may well be reading more today than we did in the 1970s or 1980s, when television was our medium of choice. Reading, explains Wolf, is not an instinctive skill for human beings.

Library 2.0 - the future of libraries in the digital age How library and information science can save the world and why to care - LIBREAS. Library Ideas Zitiervorschlag Jutta Haider, "How library and information science can save the world and why to care. ". LIBREAS. Library Ideas, 25 (2014). held as a keynote lecture at the Bobcatsss conference 2014 in Barcelona I think we agree that this is quite a title, quite a promise I have to live up to. This complicates things. Making things complicated We – I mean we library and information science people, scholars and practitioners alike - are excellent at making things complicated, at problematizing, at defining and redefining our subject - information - and thinking about our discipline. Meta-epistemic ability, as it could be called for this purpose and as most of you have, can be used to describe the ability to reflect on differences between disciplines and on which expressions these differences can take. A field at crossroads Before moving on, I need to apologise for navel gazing, for doing what I just criticised. Information is an unruly thing? Briet.
