Abstract
Studies of end-user conceptualisations of the bibliographic universe are rare, but represent an important area of research for those interested in furthering the cause of bibliographic control. To this end, as a preliminary study, 300 survey respondents were asked to list the kinds of material they obtained from their public library; the resulting categories were analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively. It was found that most categories could be covered by conventional library cataloguing, but that a significant number (about 5%) could not. Overall, the categories represented a mixture of content and carrier aspects, with more constituting forms of content than subjects. Ways in which the ‘bibliographic domain’ could be investigated both more broadly and more deeply are discussed.

July 2022 at Aalborg University, Department of Communication and Psychology, Aalborg, Denmark. The conference theme examines differences and challenges that characterize the application of knowledge organization principles and systems in different disciplines, services, and domains, including how technologies affect and provide different opportunities. The conference invited contributions with practical, applied solutions as well as theoretical frameworks and concepts behind the design, development and implementation of knowledge organizing systems, ranging from controlled vocabularies, classification systems, metadata schemas through to ontologies and taxonomies. |
