It usually refers to data, documents, text, and images.</p><p><b>Information retrieval</b> is a <i>process </i>and a <b>system</b> is the mechanism or way to carry out the process. An information retrieval system is capable of storing, retrieving, and maintaining information.</p><p><b>Database: </b>A large, regularly updated file of digitized information (bibliographic records, abstracts, full-text documents, directory entries, images, statistics, etc.) related to a specific subject or field, consisting of records of uniform format organized for ease and speed of search and retrieval and managed with the aid of database management system (DBMS) software. Content is created by the database producer (for example, the American Psychological Association), which usually publishes a print version (Psychological Abstracts) and leases the content to one or more database vendors (EBSCO, OCLC, etc.) that provide electronic access to the data after it has been converted to machine-readable form (PsycINFO), usually on CD-ROM or online via the Internet, using proprietary search software.</p><p>Most databases used in libraries are catalogs, periodical indexes, abstracting services, and full-text reference resources leased annually under licensing agreements that limit access to registered borrowers and library staff. (Source: Online Dictionary of Library and Information Science).</p><p>Data bases have two categories:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Bibliographic. Collection of bibliographic records to the published literature that provides access to the literature through citations or abstracts</li><li>Non-bibliographic. Cover a wide range of other databases - stores of facts, figures, graphics, full text journals and books, images, etc. Data may be numeric or representational.</li></ul><p></p><p><b>Full text database</b> contains the complete text of each document rather than just a reference or an abstract.

The second, the semantic level deals with the meaning of the message. At this level we are concerned with the ambiguousness in language and meaning. The third level (influential)deals with the reaction or results. This level is concerned with the relevance of the information. How does the receiver react to the message?</div><div><br /></div><div>If I send this message: X2#$%&* then you will be puzzled. There has been a breakdown in the physical transfer of symbols. My handwriting is so poor that your receptors cannot read it. If I try again and very carefully write the word base, then the physical transfer is complete. But am I discussing with you a number system? Chemical materials? Fort Knox? Baseball?Tiffany lamps? The problem now is semantic.</div><div><br /></div><div>Suppose that when I write base on the board in the classroom, a student in the back of the room throws a book against the wall and storms out of the room. It turns out that the student has just finished a bitter divorced with an army sergeant at Fox Knox. The word base hits when it hurts. Now, we are talking about reaction to the information, or effectiveness.</div><div><br /></div><div>Information professionals have dealt very well with the first level, as evidence by gigantic information resource we have managed to store in libraries and computers around the world. The physical information is there and can be clearly read.</div><div><br /></div><div>Unfortunately, we have not been as successful as we need to be on the other levels. On the semantic level, we have been developed methods of cataloging and indexing, but we have room for improvement and new challenges are presented daily. On the third level, we are just beginning to understand how people search for and use information.</div><div><br /></div><div>These are three levels are not independent of each other and in communication structure they must be addressed as interrelated to each other. This model is appropriate to indexing and abstracting. At the technical level, an index must be in an appropriate language, must have an understandable format and a clear procedure for using the index. At the technical level, the signal must get through with a minimum of noise. At the semantic level is the heart of the indexing problem. Words must convey meanings without ambiguity. At the third level, the index must correctly identify relevant information, that is, it must be effective. (Cleveland and Cleveland, 2013). </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Relationship of Indexing, Abstracting, and Searching</b></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div>A good index improves the user’s use of index terms and all the variants and interpret retrieval results. Good indexing is related to the searching stage if information retrieval.</div><div><br /></div><div>The index and the abstract are devices for searching. It is their main purpose. The goal of indexing and abstracting is to represent the content of the item in terms that searchers can understand.</div><div><br /></div><div>“The effectiveness and efficiency of accessing and retrieving information depends on how well it is organized. The tools for this are indexing and abstracting. An information retrieval system is only as good as its indexing. A good index will help the users find the exact information needed.”</div></div><div><br /></div><div><center><img src="https://iili.io/HyWQDpj.png" /></center><center><br /></center><center><br /></center></div><div><div>Description: The broken lines indicate the path taken by the patron, who essentially works backwards on the indexing and abstracting path. Although not shown in the diagram, the patron may also use indexing tools (thesaurus or classification lists) to facilitate the use of the index. Notice the patron line from the index to the abstract. Abstracts are sometimes approached by an index, especially if the abstract has a classified arrangement.</div><div><br /></div><div><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1503700285475395"

The Amduat is a text that recorded the journey of Ra (Egyptian Sun god) through the underworld. The text is divided into 12 Hours (representing night hours). In each section, there is an introduction and three pictures. There are notes on names represented of gods and monsters the god encountered. The word ‘Amduat’ can be translated to "That Which Is In the Afterworld", also translated as "Text of the Hidden Chamber Which is in the Underworld" and "Book of What is in the Underworld"</p><p>“It tells the story of Ra, the Egyptian sun god who travels through the underworld, from the time when the sun sets in the west and rises again in the east. It is said that the dead Pharaoh is taking this same journey, ultimately to become one with Ra and live forever.</p><p>The underworld is divided into twelve hours of the night, each representing different allies and enemies for the Pharaoh/sun god to encounter. The <i>Amduat </i>names all of these gods and monsters. The main purpose of the <i>Amduat</i> is to give the names of these gods and monsters to the spirit of the dead Pharaoh, so he can call upon them for help or use their name to defeat them.” (Amduat, 2020)</p><p>1800 BC – Catalogs preceded indexes. Catalogs were made for clay tablet records. Entries contained number of tablets, titles, and content.</p><p>Codex – Indexes becoming more developed</p><p><b>Natural History by Pliny the Elder</b> – encyclopedia published in 77-79 AD that claimed to cover “everything in the ancient world.” It contained a table of content, index, and bibliography.</p><p><b>Johann Tritheim</b> – credited for creating a bibliography in chronological order with alphabetical author index</p><p>Alphabetic order came later – in history, information was classified by groups, number, time, and even size and color. Alphabetic order was likely devised by Greeks at the Alexandrian library to help them organize Greek literary works. Only during the <b>13th century</b> was the alphabetic order becoming common, usually for Bibles and law books.</p><p>Early indexes were limited to personal names or where certain words were in a text. They function more like concordances than modern subject indexes.</p><p><b>MIDDLE AGES</b></p><p>Rise of universities and <b>debate</b> was a teaching tool. Theology, law, and natural sciences use debate as a teaching technique and this relied on <b>citing experts in the field</b>. This led to production of alphabetical indexes. Chapter headings and content lists were already in books. With the rise of printing and book production also came the demand for detailed book indexes.</p><p>Illuminated manuscripts. There was a ‘pointing finger’ leading the reader to important parts of the text.</p><p>Books had blank pages at the beginning or end of the book where readers could write notes and topics of importance. Example, lawyers listed alphabetical lists of laws and priests write scripture references.</p><p><b>THE PRINTING PRESS</b></p><p><b>Conrad Gesner </b>– Swiss scientist and bibliographer published an author bibliography and subject index in 1542</p><p>Indexing devices in printed books appeared like list of first words and gathering of words at the back of the book.</p><p>16th Century – better quality of book indexes</p><p>17th Century – <b>Journals</b> appeared as a new information tool. Indexes to journals became needed. At first, there were indexes to journal titles only. Mid 19th century, this was not enough for scholars who needed more detailed information across literature.</p><p><script async="" crossorigin="anonymous" src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1503700285475395"></script>

</script></p><h3 style="text-align: left;">History of Abstracting</h3><p>Along with scholarly journals came the rise of <b>Abstract Journals</b>. Abstracting began with writings outside clay tablets. Summaries were placed at the beginning of records for easier searching. Greek abstracts included a portion of literary criticism after a summary. These abstracts summarized, clarified, evaluated the item.</p><p><b>Journal de Scavans </b>– first published abstract Journal in 1665. Each page was devoted to one item (example, a book) with bibliographic details. It focused on journals and helped scholars be updated with the latest trends.</p><p>With the growth of science also came the growth of scientific literature. Scientists began creating handbooks, encyclopedias, indexing, abstracting, and reviewing tools. Long documents or writing were condensed to abstracts.</p><p><b>Monatsextracte </b>(1703) – German abstract journal started published in Leipzig. This type of publication began in Germany and France. This served as a means of intellectual exchange among Europeans.</p><p><b>W.F. Poole</b> (1850s) – Published an index that cut across many journals, and this was the beginning of the concept of a single publication indexing issues of many periodicals.</p><p><b>Paul Otlet</b> and <b>Henri La Fontaine</b> founded the <b>International Institute of Bibliography</b> to improve indexing in Literature. Title word indexing was used (precursor to modern keyword and free text indecing). Book indexing continued to improve and was considered essential for research by scholars.</p><p><b>20th CENTURY</b></p><p>1950s – Computers used to contain information explosion, used in indexing and abstracting At this time, first computer retrieval systems were introduced</p><p><b>Hans Peter Luhn of International Business Machines</b> introduced a mechanized form of derived title word indexing where terms were shown in context to prevent ambiguity</p><p>1960s – More experimental work on online information retrieval systems with fast developments</p><p>1970-1980s – Online access to indexing and abstracting</p><p>Chemical Abstract Services were given grants for projects on the processing and searching of chemical information</p><p>National Library of Medicine (US) implemented a computerized Index Medicus 1980s to 1990s – CD-ROM and Internet focus, less on printed indexes</p><p>RISE OF INDEXING AND ABSTRACTING SERVICES</p><p>INDEXES AND ABSTRACTS OF NOTE</p><p><b>Arts and Humanities Citation Index. </b>Thomson Reuters Index on social science, science, and research – now Web of Science</p><p><b>Chemical Abstracts </b>– published by the American Chemic Society and is the world’s leading source in chemical information. </p><p><b>Cruden’s Concordance</b> – first published as A Complete Concordance to the Holy Scriptures in 1737 by Alexander Cruden, available through various publishers</p><p><b>Index Medicus </b>(1960) by the National Library of Medicine. Began when the Library of the Surgeon-General’s Office Library (renamed the NLM) began the systematic indexing of medical literature. The library began two indexes in the 1870s: Index Medicus and the Index Catalogue of the library.</p><p>The creation of the Index Medicus was led by <b>John Shaw Billings, MD</b> in the 1880s. It included a subject/author guide to the medical literature first published in 1879. The Index continued through the development of MEDLINE and other databases and indexes.</p><p><b>Micropaedia</b> to the 15th edition of the Encyclopedia Brittanica, an index to classify the contents under topic and not alphabetical order. It provided a guide to the encyclopedia and a tool for the systematic study of a topic and related aspects of interest</p><p><b>Poole’s Index to Periodical Literature</b> – First systematic article level index for 19th century periodicals. 1st edition was published in 6 vols. In 1882-1908.

The city has emerged as a thriving hub of commerce, tourism, and culture, attracting both local and international visitors. </p><p>Many people have started to recognize and appreciate the ‘City of Love’ as Ilonggos fondly call their city. With all these changes and rapid modernization, it is only fitting to launch a book to document its recent developments not only for the people of today but also to look back on in the future. </p><p>The Iloilo City Government and Iloilo Festivals Foundation Inc. (IFFI) will launch a book on the legacy of Iloilo City. The book includes six chapters discussing the Urban Landscape, Biodiversity, Economic Upsurge, Social Services, Local Heritage and Modernization of the city.</p><p>"For the past 12 years, Iloilo City has been developing very fast, and because of the strong Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between the city government and private sectors, it is about time we come up with a book to document and show how these sectors work together," Mayor Jerry P. Trenas said.</p><p>"This book will be a testament to what the Ilonggos have done and will make us all very proud of where Iloilo is right now and even prouder of where Iloilo is going to be," Treñas added.</p><p>The development of the city, the building and refurbishment of infrastructures, roads, floodways, plazas, and esplanades, as well as initiatives made to combat climate change and protect the natural resources for sustainable development and the welfare of the Ilonggo community, will be highlighted in the book.</p><p>The City Government and IFFI signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the launch of the Iloilo Legacy Book on April 26 at Cityhall Penthouse. The event was graced by Iloilo City Mayor Jerry P. Treñas, Congresswoman Julienne Baronda, Congressman Jojo Ang, Bacolod City Mayor Albee B. Benitez, City Councilors, IFFI Chairman Judgee Peña, IFFI President Alan Tan, former Philippines Ambassador to Italy Virgilio Reyes Jr., Department Heads, and the Iloilo Legacy Book Editorial Team.</p><p><i>Related news:</i></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="https://www.malditanglibrarian.com/2023/03/iloiloartbook.html" target="_blank">Iloilo Art Book: Art in the Heart of the Philippines launched</a></li></ul><p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344872269827788689.post-21813356145607740422023-04-27T08:53:00.001+08:002023-04-27T08:53:24.026+08:00Iloilo Mega Book Fair 2023: 6 years of promoting local art and literature<p></p><center><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_acKKctqinyJa804ple0tah1PxZH1i8lNk2Pjh2SSI7L9-yqGnmg_v3IOmRA2ncW-PYLNjDUWSVQXhUsUIpHbhyiDZ0RZ5a4-IPp49toc1Bv3LsYPQ-JALJjib1Yfzh5joHgpEdLbvMQKiqdjkt82puA-cgeQuOwmcUqhJJ27GCUvXZ0oYchpPyfV/s700/iloilo-mega-book-fair-celebrate-local-arts-literature1.png" /></center><p></p><p>The Iloilo Mega Book Fair (IMBF) will be in its 6th year and has lined up activities starting April 27 until April 30, 2023 at the Iloilo Festive Mall.

Copyright law grants exclusive rights to creators of original works, and librarians must be knowledgeable about these rights and how they apply to library resources. This includes understanding fair use, licensing agreements, and digital rights management. Without a solid understanding of copyright law, librarians risk infringing on the rights of copyright holders. Also, librarians must be able to educate their patrons about copyright law and how it affects their use of materials, as well as advocate for policies that promote access to information while respecting the rights of creators.</p><p>The UP Library Science Alumni Organization will be conducting a free webinar on the topic, "All Rights Reserved!

File naming can help in many aspects of library and archive work.</p><p>If files are named consistently and descriptively, they can be easily sorted and searched for later. Digital files can be easily lost or damaged over time. By using consistent file naming conventions, libraries and archives can ensure that files are preserved and accessible for future use.</p><p>Standardized file naming help ensure that files are named in a consistent and recognizable way across the library or archive.

</script><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"> </div><div style="text-align: left;">You're reviewing for the board exam, and now deciding whether to go to a review center or just do a self-review. In my opinion, whether you go to a review center or not, <b>all review is still self-review. </b>Review centers help a lot, but it will be useless if you don't have your own effort. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><span> Read: </span><a href="https://www.malditanglibrarian.com/2022/12/self-review-tips-board-licensure-exam.html" target="_blank">Start your self-review now! 8 Self review tips for the board exam</a></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Review centers offer a lot of advantages, though: they have resources, study materials, questionnaires, and lecturers. Since you paid, you will be forced to attend. The discipline of attending review classes and answering mock exams is helpful for those who are lazy. Listening to different methods of teaching and different explanations can help us retain and remember information.<br />
<br />
One disadvantage is the expense since you pay the Review Center thousands of pesos, and if the review center is not in your province or city, you have to travel or stay in another place which requires additional expenses. For my board exam, I had to live in Manila for four months to prepare for the board and because there was no review center at that time in Iloilo for my profession.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you want to make the most out of your Review Center, I suggest that you <i>don't just rely on the review center</i>. I suggest that before you enrol, you must have already studied and covered the basics of each subject of the board exam. As the name tells you, the Review center is there to help you <i>review </i>what you already learned. Don't just plan to start your Review there! Nothing beats mastering the basics while in school. The review doesn't start after you graduate, but in the college classroom.</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><script async="" src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<ins class="adsbygoogle" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1503700285475395" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-layout="in-article" data-ad-slot="2762588384" style="display: block; text-align: center;"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script><br /> </div><div style="text-align: left;">In my experience, though, most of what we reviewed in the Review Center didn't go out of the exam!<br />
<br />
Often, lack of cash or a full-time job is the reason why some don't enrol in a Review Center. But take heart, a lot of people passed and even entered the top 10 even while self-reviewing. If you study by yourself, you need a consistent schedule and discipline to study. You also need to be resourceful - get all copies of reviewers from those who have already passed, photocopy the reviewers of your batchmates in review centers, and avail of the free resources available in your school or local library.<br />
<br />
As for me, being away from Iloilo City and focusing all my energy in reviewing helped a lot. I chose to review in UP because I also want to experience how they teach things and UP had a lot of topnotchers in the past. But one of my friends also was number 3 in the 2014 Licensure Exam even if she didn't review in UP! While there are people who may have reviewed in UP but didn't pass the exam.<br />
<br />
So whether you enrol in a Review Center or study by yourself, it still boils down to your own effort. Just make the most of what you have and be resourceful. Be open to advice from those who have already passed the exam, but also listen to your own intuition.<br />
<br />
Remember, nothing still beats faith, effort, and proper preparation. Best of luck and God bless on your review.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><script async="" src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
