This document discusses how various knowledge organization systems work together, including records, codes, encoding, authority control, structure, subject headings, classification, and models. It then covers core concepts of controlled vocabularies like organizing terms to label and find content. Different approaches to controlled vocabularies are described like pre-coordinate versus post-coordinate systems. The document outlines various types of controlled vocabularies and how they are arranged. It also discusses issues in constructing controlled vocabularies and provides examples of terminology used in thesauri and concept maps.

RDA (Resource Description and Access) is a new standard for describing library resources, designed to replace AACR2. Library staff, including public services, systems personnel, and catalogers, may have heard mention of RDA but not know much about it or how it will change their daily work. You may have many questions. What is RDA? We'll give a very little bit of history and theoretical background. What is this going to mean for catalogers, ILS managers, and users in the near term? What are the future implications, or, why are we doing this? What are the juicy bits of controversy in cataloger-land? And finally, Do we HAVE to? We'll talk for a while, have some activities that get you thinking, and find out your thoughts on RDA.

Latent Topic-semantic Indexing based Automatic Text SummarizationElaheh Barati
Automatic summarization, a difficult but pressing problem in natural language processing, aims at shortening source documents while retaining main information. In recent years, more statistical machine learning methods have been applied to automatic summarization. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for summarization, based on hierarchical Bayesian model of topic-semantic indexing (TSI) and extraction strategy of average log-likelihood. The new method is tested on Brown corpus, and its performance is analyzed by a well-designed blind experiment of one-way ANOVA on human reviews. The experimental results show that TSI model is promising on topic- driven summarization.

The Preparation of Academic Library Administrators (Prezi import)Dr. Starr Hoffman
(Presentation based on my 2012 dissertation.)
The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine the preparation methods experienced by academic library deans, and which methods they perceived to be most valuable. Rosser, Johnsrud, and Heck defined the theoretical constructs of effective academic leadership upon which this study is based. The instrument (a modified version of Greicar’s Professional Preparation of Academic Deans Questionnaire) was administered online. The population was the chief administrators of academic libraries in the United States; there were 749 usable responses for a 30.4% response rate. Respondents were primarily female (61.7%), White non-Hispanic (90.0%), and born in the United States (95.7%), with a mean age of 56.4 (5.9% < 40, 11.0% > 65). The largest minority group was Black, non-Hispanic (3.9%). Many respondents held multiple advanced degrees; 90.0% held a MLS, 45.8% held a subject masters, and 18.8% held a doctorate.
The instrument measured academic library deans’ perceived value of various preparatory methods (formal and informal mentoring, on the job training, conferences or seminars, advanced degrees beyond the MLS, and training programs). The methods were tested for perceived effectiveness with Rosser, Johnsrud, and Heck’s seven theoretical constructs of academic leadership.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. Core Concepts of Controlled
Vocabularies
Organized list of terms
Words and/or phrases
Used to label content
Used to find content
Terms may be:
Hierarchically structured
Relational
Something in-between (BT, NT, RT)
4. CVs attempt to resolve problems…
User language doesn’t match language
of the document they’re seeking
User wants to find all resources on a given
topic
User wants to find out what language a
system/organization uses to describe a
given concept
5. Approaches…
Pre-coordinate: subdivided terms create compounded,
complex concepts (LCSH)
Post-coordinate: single concepts, basic terms (that can
be combined later during the search process)
Able to assign multiple subject terms regardless of the
above method used
Hierarchical vs. more complex/subtle relationships
Finite, limited (thesaurus) vs. evolving, broad (LCSH)
Controlled vs. uncontrolled (tags, concept maps)
6. Types of Controlled Vocabularies
Thesaurus: specific subject domain (Getty’s AAT)
Subject heading list: library context, describe “aboutness”
of items in catalog records (LCSH, Sears)
Classification scheme: library or other context
(taxonomy), descriptor to group like items together (LCC,
DDC)
Authority file: list of names of individuals or geographic
places (LC Authority Files)
Keyword list, Tag cloud: often user-defined/community-
defined, used to group similar content in social media or
other websites
Website categories (aka taxonomy): tree-like hierarchical
structure, similar to classification (w/o notation / call #)
Concept Map (aka ontology): visual representation of
relationship between concepts, relays meaning
(semantics)

LIS653_ControlledVocabularies
Editor's Notes
Bibliographic record = record with descriptive information about a work (information object) that it represents
Catalog = a group of records, a list of objects in a collection
Model = determines how records are organized and created in a catalog (FRBR)
Cataloging codes = rules for creating catalog records (AACR2, RDA)
Structure = rules that help determine the order of elements & punctuation/spacing in a record (ISBD, XML)
Format = format in which a record is created and/or encoded (MARC, Dublin Core)
Subject heading = terms from a topical controlled vocabulary that describe the content of a work (LCSH, Sears, AAT)
Authority control = term from a controlled vocabulary chosen to uniquely identify an author, corporation, book title, or series (so that all records for one author can be accessed easily)
Classification scheme = assigns a unique descriptor to a work (usually based on subject), often used to indicate a work’s physical location (LC, Dewey)
USES for controlled vocab…
Subject description (subject headings, classification schemes, tags)
Website navigation/structure
Organize content for retrieval
Concept map of website or system
Facilitate user/organizational communication
Determine what concepts & terms (jargon!) an organization/system uses
User language doesn’t match language of the document they’re seeking
User wants to find all resources on a given topic
User wants to find out what language a system/organization uses to describe a given concept
Visually organized
User-created
--not necessarily a controlled vocabulary—may have duplicate concepts, plural vs. singular, etc.
--may evolve into a community-controlled vocabulary, or folksonomy (consistency, consensus, stability)
Advantages:
Natural language, language of/by/for users
Users tag according to how they want to find things later
Identifies part of item that the USERS care about, find most relevant—may differ from how a cataloger views the same item
Disadvantages:
Lack of precision: may have duplicate concepts, plural vs. singular, etc.
If synonyms aren’t linked, also a lack of recall (don’t come up with the items in the system that apply to the user’s search)
Tag cloud itself: visual representation of the use of tags, arranged by size (larger = more times term has been used)
Can give a good idea of popular terms, perhaps also popular concepts
Similar to a concept map in its visual layout
Synonyms, inconsistency of terms (science fiction, sciencefiction, scifi, sci-fi…)
Related terms, confusion of relationships (androids, robots, cyborgs)
Different forms of words (robot, robots)
Misspelled words
Different syntax, capitalization
Different specificity levels
Different types of categorization, unclear relationships
Very personal tags, little meaning for others
Vague “STUFF”
