Abstract

Section 1 of this article discusses the concept of bibliographical control and makes a distinction between this term, “bibliographical description,” and related terms, which are often confused in the literature. It further discusses the function of bibliographical control and criticizes Patrick Wilson’s distinction between “exploitative control” and “descriptive control.” Section 2 presents projects for establishing bibliographic control from the Library of Alexandria to the Internet and Google, and it is found that these projects have often been dominated by a positivist dream to make all information in the world available to everybody. Section 3 discusses the theoretical problems of providing comprehensive coverage and retrieving documents represented in databases and argues that 100% coverage and retrievability is an unobtainable ideal. It is shown that bibliographical control has been taken very seriously in the field of medicine, where knowledge of the most important findings is of utmost importance. In principle, it is equally important in all other domains. The conclusion states that the alternative to a positivist dream of complete bibliographic control is a pragmatic philosophy aiming at optimizing bibliographic control supporting specific activities, perspectives, and interests.

书目的控制
本文第1节讨论了书目控制的概念,并对“书目描述”这一术语与文献中经常混淆的相关术语进行了区分。本文进一步探讨了书目控制的功能,并对帕特里克·威尔逊对“剥削性控制”和“描述性控制”的区分提出了批评。第2节介绍了建立书目控制的项目,从亚历山大图书馆到互联网和谷歌,我们发现这些项目往往被一个实证主义的梦想所主导,即让世界上所有的信息都能为每个人提供。第3节讨论了提供全面覆盖和检索数据库中表示的文档的理论问题,并认为100%的覆盖和可检索性是无法实现的理想。这表明,在医学领域,书目控制已经得到了非常认真的对待,其中最重要的发现的知识是至关重要的。原则上,它在所有其他领域同样重要。结论指出,替代完全书目控制的实证主义梦想是一种实用主义哲学,旨在优化书目控制,支持特定的活动、观点和兴趣。
