Purpose: This study discusses the development of the concept of facet in Ranganathan’s writings. Method: Each writing of Ranganathan was chronologically investigated. Results: The writings of Ranganathan on ‘facet’ can be divided into three phases. In the first phase, the concept of facet and the facet formula were established. The Colon Classification (CC) has two characteristics: (1) it adopts a notation consisting of plural independent elements, and (2) each element constitutes a facet. In the second phase, the concept of the fundamental category was modified. In the past, it was assumed that the fundamental category serves as a guide that a classifier uses in facet analysis. As the need to deal with detailed and complex subjects gradually increased, a new role was assigned to the fundamental category so that it could manifest a large number of facets. However, the use of the fundamental category also resulted in a new problem: consistency in classification practice could not be maintained. In the third phase, Ranganathan proposed a solution to this problem by using postulates and principles. In this phase, he also attempted to clarify the relationship between faceted classification and analytico-synthetic classification and the position of the CC in existing classifications. However, he changed his idea in each writing. This is because Ranganathan was not able to clearly distinguish among three points of view: the two characteristics (1) and (2) of CC and (3) classification enables facet analysis and synthesis of notations.

Abstract This chapter aims to explore representations of information literacy and media literacy in Singapore’s educational discourse as part of its 21st century skills framework. Currently, information literacy and media literacy co-exist in Singapore’s education discourse but there is no related work attempting to clarify these two concepts in Singapore or to bridge them to propose an overarching framework. In what ways are these two terminologies identical or different in the local education context? We try to answer this question through reviewing relevant official documents. We start with a review the literature on the global scale regarding information literacy and media literacy. Then, we focus on Singapore to explore how various governmental agencies defining information literacy and media literacy. This chapter, in other words, is a result from a pilot study to understand how information literacy and media literacy is defined and understood in Singapore’s education system.
