the Culture of the Book to the Culture of Documents: European Documentation
in the Works of Paul Otlet and Suzanne Briet ABSTRACT: In honor of
the English translation of Suzanne Briet's 1951 manifesto, “Qu'est-ce que la
documentation?” (“What is Documentation?”, Scarecrow Press, 2006), I will
present and discuss some concepts in works by the father of European
Documentation, Paul Otlet, and the later European Documentalist, Suzanne
Briet. I will discuss the different ways that these two authors position the
meaning, cultural importance and social function of documents, particularly
in relation to the modern dominance of books as both a material item and as a
rhetorical and metaphysical figure of epistemological and cultural order.
Such a positioning has importance today for how we might understand digital
collections and services. My talk also will discuss the notion of
"culture" in Briet's “What is Documentation?” and it will highlight
some differences Briet saw between the education of documentalists and
librarians. *5/11 NO Class; Colloquium: Michael Gorman, Dean of Library Services, CSU Fresno and President of the American Library Association. You are invited to attend the reception following the talk. http://is.gseis.ucla.edu/news/current.htm#gormancolloquium 5/18
