Library Science Dictionary

How did I get half-way through my MLS without knowing about ODLIS, the Online Dictionary for Libary and Information Science? It is a sweeping compilation of obscure library words, from arcane terms that describe book parts (see "cartonnage" to learn how books are related to mummies) to technical jargon (see "Z39.50" for one that I always need to look up).

Internal links solve the pesky problem of understanding the definition no better than the original term. External links lead to definitive resources in the library world.

I learned about ODLIS last night from my Cataloging teacher.     #
