August 31, 2010 / Melody Smith /

August 31, 2010 – A new book is coming that answers questions like – How do we organize objects so that they make sense and are useful? What role do categories, classifications, taxonomies, and other structures play in the process of organizing? What do information professionals need to know about organizing behaviors in order to design useful structures for organizing knowledge?

June Abbas, an expert in the field of information science and technology, is the author of this essential guide for understanding and arranging concepts in manageable ways.
