ISKO UK Conference 2011
Facets of Knowledge Organization - A tribute to Professor Brian Vickery
University College London, 4-5 July
The second biennial conference of the UK Chapter of ISKO (International Society for Knowledge Organization) honours the life and achievements of Brian C Vickery (1918-2009), one of the great pioneers in our field. From his 1948 essay on Bradford’s law of scattering to a 2008 posting on his website On knowledge organisation, Vickery provided us with a tremendous legacy of insights, still relevant today. According to Vickery, ‘Our tasks are to make knowledge (whether organised or unorganised) available to those who seek it, to store it in an accessible way, and to provide tools and procedures that make it easier for people to find what they seek in those stores.’ During Facets of Knowledge Organization we shall discuss the latest progress with all these tasks.
