  • The Archives of Paul Otlet: Between Appreciation and Rediscovery, 1944–2013
    The Archives of Paul Otlet: Between Appreciation and Rediscovery, 1944–2013 Stephanie Manfroid and Jacques Gillen Translated by Patricia M. Phillips-Batoma Abstract This paper outlines the life and work of Paul Otlet (1868–1944). Otlet was a founder of the scholarly disciplines of bibliography, documenta- tion, and information science. As a result of the work he undertook with Henri La Fontaine (1854–1943)—specifically, the establishment in 1895 in Brussels of the International Institute of Bibliography, which aimed to construct a Universal Bibliographic Repertory— Otlet has become known as the father of the Internet. Otlet’s grand project, as stated in his Traité de documentation (1934), was never fully realized. Even before his death, the collections he assembled had been dismembered. After his death, the problematic conditions in which Otlet’s personal papers and the collections he had created were preserved meant that his thought and work remained largely unacknowledged. It fell to W. Boyd Rayward, who began to work on Otlet in the late 1960s, to rescue him from obscurity, publishing in 1975 a major biography of the pioneer knowledge entrepreneur and internationalist progenitor of the World Wide Web. Introduction When Paul Otlet died in December 1944, the exceptional collective and internationalist project he had founded came to an end (fig. 1). While successors undertook to continue his plans for bibliography and docu- mentation, several decades would pass before his achievements were rec- ognized and for his legacy to be preserved and valued.1 His major contri- butions at the end of the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries in helping to elevate bibliography and what he sometimes called bibliology to disciplinary status make him a father of these disciplines and one of LIBRARY TRENDS, Vol.

D ., 1965 Political Science, public administration University Microfilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan THE USE OF MICROFILM BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, 1928-1945 by Robert David Stevens Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The American University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public Administration Signatures of Committee: Graduate Dean: Chairman: Date: Aprilj 1965 The American University AMERICAN UNIVERSITY Washington, D. C. LIBRARY MAY 191965 WASHINGTON^* C. PREFACE This study traces the history and development of the microfilming of record materials by agencies of the Federal Government from the first such efforts in 1928 through the year 1945, The individual responsible for introducing into the United States the microfilming of record material is identified and the spread of the use of microfilm by Federal agencies is documented. Microfilm projects during this period are evaluated and the reasons determined why the technique of substituting microfilm for original records as a means of saving storage space did not become more widespread and popular. The study had its genesis in the author’s longstanding interest in the use of microfilm by libraries and archival agencies, an interest related to his employment by the Library of Congress from July 1947 to August 1964. This interest was intensified by discussions of the problems of microfilming of records in Dr. Ernst Posner’s classes in Archives Administration at The American University during the academic year 1951-1952.

  • Internationalist Utopias of Visual Education
    Internationalist Utopias of Visual Education: The Graphic and Scenographic Transformation of the Universal Encyclopaedia in the Work of Paul Otlet, Patrick Geddes, and Otto Neurath Wouter Van Acker Ghent University During the interwar period, the encyclopaedia became a popular educative instrument for demonstrating knowledge. Within the ªeld of cultural inter- nationalism, the pioneer of documentation Paul Otlet redeªned the encyclo- paedia as a documentary product or as we would say today a “multi-media” product. This article discusses the exchange of ideas between Otlet, Patrick Geddes and Otto Neurath and shows how the graphic and scenographic dem- onstration of encyclopaedic knowledge at the beginning of the twentieth cen- tury applied the values of scientiªc universalism to programs of international education and cultural reform. Paul Otlet (1868–1944) was a Belgian intellectual, a utopian internation- alist and a visionary theorist of the ªeld of information science. His work is a milestone in the history of information science since he launched the concept of “documentation,” a ªeld that evolved out of bibliography and developed into information science.1 Otlet deªned documentation as the whole of the proper means of passing on, communicating, and distribut- I am grateful to W. Boyd Rayward, Pieter Uyttenhove, and two anonymous referees for helpful comments on an earlier version of this article. The research presented in this article is a result of a doctoral research project on the visualizations made by Paul Otlet, which is ªnanced by FWO Flanders and will be completed by the beginning of 2011. 1. Two biographies of Paul Otlet have been published, by W.

TROTIER THISISSUE of Library Trends is an attempt to bring together for the first time in one place information on the application of machines to the performance of library operations and techniques. Strictly speaking, mechanization in libraries relates to the replacing of personnel engaged in library operations with machinery wherever possible. Although the articles in this issue give considerable attention to this particular aspect of the subject, they are broadly concerned with the application of machinery, appliances, equipment, and tools to various library operations for the purpose of making these operations possible, better or easier. Melvin Voigt’s introductory article lays the foundation for the rest of the issue insofar as it discusses the nature and principles of mecha- nization in libraries and the application of these principles to library operations in general.
