A Model of Organization

I have created this model from Hagler's The Bibliographic Record and Information Technology (1997) as well as Taylor's The Organization of Information (2004).
Hagler relates organization to the idea of bibliographic control. Bibliographic control, he says, is the "sum of all the practical operations a librarian undertakes to organize documents and their descriptions so that relevant ones can be located most directly and efficiently in answer to any users expressed need" (p. 13). These operations can be expressed in a model of information organization.

Note: the term "information package" was coined by Arlene Taylor in her book The Organization of Information (2004).
