The document discusses the fundamental interconnectedness of all things and the impact of networked knowledge systems on cataloguing. It notes that FRBR aims to describe entities and relationships in the bibliographic universe beyond individual items. Network structures are discussed where nodes are equal and democracy and flocks of birds are examples. The importance of network thinking across many domains is highlighted as networks are the fabric of complex systems.

In Democracy and Other Neoliberal Fantasies, Jodi Dean argues that “imagining
a rhizome might be nice, but rhizomes don’t describe the underlying structure of real
networks,”1 rejecting the idea that there is such a thing as a nonhierarchical
interconnectedness that structures our contemporary world and means of communication.
Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, on the other hand, argue that the Internet is an
exemplar of the rhizome: a nonhierarchical, noncentered network—a democratic network
with “an indeterminate and potentially unlimited number of interconnected nodes [that]
communicate with no central point of control.”2
Our journey begins with early modernism, and if early modernism had a theme, it
was oneness. This focus on oneness or unity, on the whole rather than on individual parts,
What is at stake in settling this dispute?
Being. And, knowledge and power in that being. More specifically, this paper explores
how a theory of social ontology has evolved to theories of social ontologies, how the
modernist notion of global understanding of individuals working toward a common
(rationalized and objectively knowable) goal became pluralistic postmodern theories
embracing the idea of local networks. Furthermore, what this summary journey of
theoretical evolution allows for is a consideration of why understandings of a world
comprising emergent networks need be .
The New Past, and a Speculative Future, of Literature: A Brief Discussion of ...NatGustafsonSundell
This presentation consists of three sections: (1) a brief description of the work of Franco Moretti and Matthew Jockers to exemplify how past literature can be seen anew using text analysis tools, (2) a brief description of Voyant and TMT in the context of text analysis generally, (3) a science fiction extrapolation describing text creation tools as the obverse of text analysis tools. One might imagine a new future literature in which text artists build texts by combining words at a distance. One might imagine an obverse to Voyant: a “text creation system” which allows users to add numbers of words to a text and to define the proximity of those words to each other using network visualizations and other tools. The construction of such texts could be imagined to be every bit as complex as writing a novel, as artists might manipulate webs of words to differentiate and potentiate shades of meaning.

inclusion and diversity in critical UX researchSimon Bowie
Slides for a keynote / workshop presented by Karine Larose and Simon Bowie at CLAUD's Summer Study Day at the University of Bath on 2019-07-08.
During summer 2016, Karine and Simon ran user experience research into the information-seeking behaviour of undergraduate and postgraduate students at Imperial College London. Looking critically at this research, we realised what we were doing wrong and got an insight into the limitations of our approach to inclusion and diversity in UX research in libraries. In this session, we want to talk about our methodology for UX research, run through some short activities to help you reflect on disability, and think about best practices for including students with disabilities in the library experience.

Designing library systems for library usersSimon Bowie
Presented to UCL DIS students on 9th March 2015 and City University London LIS students on 16th March 2015.
The design of library systems has traditionally been out of the control of library staff and in the hands of a few big library software vendors. But new developments with open-source library software and the increasingly techie skill-sets of library staff make it possible to conduct user experience (UX) research in libraries and to design systems that precisely meet the needs of our users. In this presentation, Simon discusses library systems design and UX in libraries with particular reference to the project to implement an open-source library catalogue interface at SOAS Library.

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

library catalogue should
do more than enable the
location of a particular
item. In essence, in
creating a 'FRBRized' “FRBR describes the
catalogue record, we are entities in the
describing not only the bibliographic
thing we have in our hands, universe, their
but its relationship to other relationships and
things in the bibliographic attributes.”
universe - not only to its
creator(s) and previous
editions, but, theoretically,
to any other thing that may
be of use to an end user.”
7. “Linnaeus’s classification is
typical of a taxonomy in that the
relationships between living
things are depicted by means of
a hierarchical structure. This is a
structure in which successive
steps in division create smaller
and more specific classes. It is
usually represented visually as a
tree structure, with the tree
branching at each new level.
This sort of structure is probably
what is ordinarily thought of as a
system of classification.”
Broughton,
Essential classification, p. 13.

9. “…treat knowledge as if it were a unity which can
be subdivided into smaller and smaller units. At
the top of the tree is the whole universe,
which is divided
and subdivided
to arrive at
all the
different
entities,
events
and activities
represented in the subjects of books.”
Broughton, Essential classification, p. 32.
13. “…individuals function
as autonomous nodes,
negotiating their own
relationships, forging
ties, coalescing into
clusters. There is no
“top” in a network; each
node is equal and self-
directed. Democracy is
a kind of network; so is a
flock of birds, or the
World Wide Web.”
Wright, Glut: mastering information
through the ages, p. 7.
14. "Our biological existence, social world, economy, and
religious traditions tell a compelling story of
interrelatedness. As the great Argentinean author Jorge
Luis Borges put it, "everything touches everything."
Barabási, Linked, p. 5.
15.
16.
17. "Consider for example a network crucial for our ability to find
scientific information: the citation network. Each scientific
paper cites other papers, relevant to the discussed work. A
mathematics paper would cite other maths papers focusing
on similar problems or occasionally a biology or a physics
paper, illustrating the applications of the obtained results.
Therefore, all scientific publications are part of a web of
science in which nodes are research publications connected
by citations. These links are directed. Indeed, following the
references at the end of this book will allow you to find the
quotes papers. Yet none of these papers could send you to
this book, since they do not cite it. The citation network is a
very peculiar directed network in which the IN and OUT
components reflect the historical ordering of the papers and
the central component is very small if it exists at all."
Barabási, Linked, p. 169.
18.
19. “Network thinking is poised to invade all domains of human
activity and most fields of human inquiry. It is more than
another helpful perspective or tool. Networks are by their very
nature the fabric of most complex systems, and nodes and
links deeply infuse all strategies aimed at approaching our
interlocked universe.”
Barabási, Linked, p. 222.
21. “[Consilience is] a “jumping
together” of knowledge by the
linking of facts and fact-based
theory across disciplines to create a
common groundwork of
explanation.”
Wilson, Consilience, p. 6.
“The map of the material world, including
human mental activity, can be thought a
sprinkling of charted terrain separated by
blank expanses that are of unknown extent
yet accessible to coherent inter-
disciplinary research…
If the consilience world view is correct, the
traverse of the gaps will be a Magellanic
voyage that eventually encircles the whole
of reality.”
Wilson, Consilience, p. 299.
22. “…obviously there is no
classification of the universe
that is not arbitrary and
speculative. The reason is quite
simple:
we do not know what the
universe is.”
