Due to permeation of digital infrastructures, software, and digital media in everyday life, many aspects of contemporary culture and society are infused with the activity and practice of classification. That means that old questions about classification have their potency in modern discourses about surveillance, identify formation, big data and so on. At the same time, this situation also implies a need to reconsider these old questions and how to frame them in digital culture. This book contains contributions that consider classic library classification practices and how their choices have social, cultural and political effect, how the organization of knowledge is not only a professional practice but is also a way of communicating and understanding digital culture, and how what a particular historical context perceives as information has implications for the recording of that information. 410 0$aStudies in information ;$v12. 606 $aKnowledge management 606 $aLanguage Arts & Disciplines$xLibrary & Information Science$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aLibrary & information services$2bicssc 615 0$aKnowledge management. 615 7$aLanguage Arts & Disciplines$xLibrary & Information Science$xGeneral. 615 7$aLibrary & information services. 676 $a658.4038 702 $aAndersen$b Jack 702 $aSkouvig$b Laura 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827500103321 996 $aThe organization of knowledge$94104930 997 $aUNINA
