Course Description

Indexing and, more broadly, all categorizing are concerned with naming and/or describing. It is, therefore, a kind language activity and the terms and codes used can be considered a form of vocabulary. This course examines indexing and categorization with an emphasis on language aspects. It is a reading and discussion group for students interested in the Organization of Information, in bibliographic description, and, more generally, in language aspects of Information Management. The readings depend on the interests of those who participate.
