AbstractAn experimental “management‐by‐objectives” performance system was operated by the Libraries and Information Systems Center of Bell Laboratories during 1973. It was found that, though the system was very effective for work planning and the development of people, difficulties were encountered in applying it to certain classes of employees, particularly those doing public service or routi

摘要:

AbstractThe likelihood that the development of theoretical foundations for information science is a distant goal suggests that the near‐term objectives of the information research community should be formulated more realistically. Since the task of science is increasingly being determined by urgent, and changing, social concerns, these objectives should be formulated within a socially utilitarian framework and within a problem domain different from that which has sustained information research in the past 15 years. The imminent societal imperative, management of knowledge as a social resource, appears to be a viable new framework for defining major roles and tasks for theory‐oriented work in information scie

摘要:

AbstractInformation science emerged as the third subject, along with logic and philosophy, to deal with relevance‐an elusive, human notion. The concern with relevance, as a key notion in information science, is traced to the problems of scientific communication. Relevance is considered as a measure of the effectiveness of a contact between a source and a destination in a communication process. The different views of relevance that emerged are interpreted and related within a framework of communication of knowledge. Different views arose because relevance was considered at a number of different points in the process of knowledge communication. It is suggested that there exists an interlocking, interplaying cycle of various systems of relevance

摘要:

AbstractComparisons of hard and soft science in user (Garvey) and citation (Price) studies were shown to exhibit a previously unnoticed complementarity. In particular, the lower utilization of recent citations by social scientists may be shown to reflect the greater time required for scientific work and subsequent publication of a social science research contribution as opposed to one from the physical sciences. This analysis offers an alternative to the view of hard and soft science offered by Price and raises several research questions regarding the relation between use and citation of scientific literatures.

摘要:

AbstractA great deal of interest has been shown in the use of prices as a means of allocating computer resources. However, little effort has been exerted toward determining which resources should be priced. As a step in this direction, a study was undertaken to uncover which resources can be validated for inclusion within a pricing structure. The resources thus found most suitable for pricing are core space and CPU time. A basis for including additional resources within the pricing structure is also provided.

摘要:

AbstractCitations in Physical Review by the staff of the Physics Department of M.I.T. in 1970‐71 were analyzed as references‐permeter of shelf. These citation densities were independent of age for pre‐1962 volumes, but the mean density for the 1961‐55 volumes in the main library was twice that for less accessible 1954‐40 volumes in the basements. For the 1969‐62 volumes, the densities fell with age, perhaps partly due to the greater accessibility of the most recent personal copies, and partly to a difference between the relatively recent literature on the precise topics being discussed, compared with the less age‐dependent literatures on theory and methodology. There was no evidence that exponential models are to be preferred over linear models or that citation density patterns reflec

AbstractA recent paper by Gupta and Ravindran (1) describes a network model developed to determine the optimal number of shelf‐heights to use to minimize the shelving cost for a given collection of books if shelved by size. The following notes amplify some aspects of this wor
