“…Relating more specifically to classification were critiques of some current schemes, as well as future directions for resource classification. One particularly critical discussion was aimed at the United Nations Classification Scheme -the authors suggested that decentralization in the scheme's development and maintenance was related to flaws in its simplicity, use of mnemonics, brevity, and collocation [55]. In terms of future directions, many authors came forward with ideas.…”

Qualitative analyses were used to launch a preliminary exploration of the dominant knowledge organization (KO) trends in the pre-and post-web eras. Data for this study was assembled by searching the Library, Information Science, and Technology Abstracts database for articles that have used the term 'knowledge organization' or 'information organization' in their titles, abstracts, or descriptors. Taken as a whole, these preliminary results suggest that the content of the KO literature has shifted since the advent of the web. Although classic KO principles remain prominent throughout both eras, the presence of new content areas, such as metadata, denotes a shift in KO trends. In the pre-web era, the literature was related in large part to indexing and abstracting. In contrast, cataloging and classification issues dominate the landscape in the postweb era. The findings from this paper will be of particular use to those interested in learning about upcoming trends in the KO literature.

The purpose of this research is to find the teaching method contained in Deuteronomy 6:4-9 that can reach all realms to achieve early childhood spiritual development. With qualitative methods and analysis with a literature approach which then uses descriptive and analytical methods on the texts in the Bible, it can be found that early age is the golden age in which it is very easy to instill teaching for them. In Deuteronomy 6:4-9 it is found that several methods can reach 3 domains, namely the cognitive realm by teaching repeatedly, affective by always paying attention, namely by placing in the heart and soul, and the psychomotor realm by communicating with the child at all times, and marker method for systematic learning. The implementation of these three methods is very effective in the development of early childhood spirituality because it involves cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.

“…Current users of UN documents may also note that the present study gives minimal attention to United Nations notation. This was done because a guide produced by the Dag Hammarskjöld Library (1997a) describes it thoroughly, and the present author has already identified its shortcomings (Griffiths, 2005).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to help reference librarians in academic institutions to more effectively use UN information resources to meet users' needs. Design/methodology/approach -This paper outlines the United Nations' structure, addresses the effects of misconceptions regarding the organization's boundaries, describes the categories of UN information resources and their most useful content, identifies and evaluates the most important reference tools by or about the UN, and casts light on little-known obstacles to intellectual access in the UN information environment. Findings -Access to UN information is often hindered by the idiosyncrasies of UN documents and their records, misconceptions about the United Nations' relationships with other organizations, and a lack of in-depth information about UN reference sources. The effects of these problems can be ameliorated, however, through the information, techniques, and strategies presented here. Originality/value -This article identifies and evaluates the UN reference sources of greatest use to general reference librarians. This is the first publication to demonstrate how indexing policies and common characteristics of UN documents impede access to UN information and to show how these barriers can be circumvented.
