Index to ‘We fight death’ by Gusti Jirku
Index to ‘We fight death’ by Gusti Jirku
‘We fight death’ is a short book about one woman’s visit to medical centres in Spain during the Spanish Civil War. It has lots of anecdotes and snippets of information about different people. I thought it would be useful to have an index to the work. You can access it at the link above.
The book is available at the Working Class Movement Library (reference only – http://146.87.210.24/detail.aspx).
It is also available online in German at http://library.fes.de/pdf-files/netzquelle/a-32080.pdf.
Information architecture web sites
By Glenda: First published in Online Currents – Vol.19 Issue 1, January/February 2004
Information architecture (IA) is a natural extension of the traditional roles of librarians and indexers. For many years I have been keeping up with developments in this expanding field. This article describes Web sites about Information Architecture that I have found useful.
Information architecture is the structuring of information for access, primarily by navigation through browse categories. In many ways it is an extension of traditional library approaches, using categorisation (classification), indexing, cataloguing (metadata creation) and thesaurus (or taxonomy) creation skills. Many librarians and library technicians now have roles in the management of library Web sites or intranets, and therefore need to know about information architecture.
