The purpose of authority control is to ensure consistency in representing a value - a name of a person, a place name, or a term or code representing a subject - in the elements used as access points in information retrieval. The primary purpose of this study is to produce a framework that will provide a clearly stated and commonly shared understanding of what the subject authority data/record/file aims to provide information about, and the expectation of what such data should achieve in terms of answering user needs.

In this broad-reaching, multi-disciplinary collection, leading scholars investigate how the digital medium has altered the way we read and write text. In doing so, it challenges the very notion of scholarship as it has traditionally been imagined. Incorporating scientific, socio-historical, materialist and theoretical approaches, this rich body of work explores topics ranging from how computers have affected our relationship to language, whether the book has become an obsolete object, the nature of online journalism, and the psychology of authorship. The essays offer a significant contribution to the growing debate on how digitization is shaping our collective identity, for better or worse. Text and Genre in Reconstruction will appeal to scholars in both the humanities and sciences and provides essential reading for anyone interested in the changing relationship between reader and text in the digital age.

It has come as no surprise that in recent years the humble 'totem' station sign has become so collectible for people from all walks of life. Designed by BR in 1948, they carried the six regional colours for a few decades. They may have disappeared from our stations but not from our memories. This lavishly illustrated book contains over 1,380 images of totems, stations and related railwayana from all over Great Britain. Its aim is to enlighten both the serious collector and casual observer alike. Comprehensive tables show which stations were fitted with totems and their survival where known. The early history of collecting is documented for the first time and the authors also look at the collecting scene today. It is hoped that this new work will rekindle memories to transport the reader back to places of a misspent youth. This is the only book to chart the history of British Railways station signs. Three years' research has allowed the authors to fill a space in the enthusiasts' library, with a lavishly illustrated and comprehensive guide to the subject.
