If you won’t talk to your kids about indexing, who will?

This bumpersticker is on Allen Renear’s bulletin board on the door to his office. You really got to love this guy!
I also want to know where to find one.
Other awesomeness arising from near the vicinity of this provided me a free copy of the following today:
Iyer, Hemalata. Classificatory Structures: Concepts, Relations and Representation. Textbooks for Knowledge Organization, V. 2. Frankfurt: INDEKS Verlag, 1995.
While it has some editing issues and even perhaps a few conceptual issues it is still an awesome book, especially for FREE. I used several chapters of it in the lit review I did last fall in Carole Palmer’s class on the topic of “multilingual” mapping of thesauri for use by interdisciplinary scientists.
I am looking forward to being able to read the whole thing finally.
Thank you, ma’am.

Me too, Jenn!
And I am aware that bumpersticker is really 2 words (even w/o Firefox’s reminder). But when I was 1st typing my comments on the picture in Flickr I stopped and said, “Mark, this is 2 words. Yes, self, so it is. But. Once it is stuck on the bumper (or pinned to a door) then it is stuck. Thus, bumpersticker! The sticker is STUCK to the bumper.”
Rationality and logic have a useful side once in a while.

“multilingual” mapping of thesauri
I’d like to hear more about this topic. The little bit you toss off in passing sound interesting…

Hi ~ender. I’ll try and patch some things together and send it to you. This would have been a lot easier if my hard drive had not crashed taking my Zotero database with it. I could have given you lots of citations quickly.
Still it shouldn’t be too hard. I hope to send you something soon.
