FW: [Asis-l] New book about Paul Otlet in French

[Eugene Garfield]

 Hopefully this book will appear one day in an English translation. All scientometricians should be aware of the pioneering work of Paul Otlet and his "Traite de Documentation" published in 1934.

Subject: [Asis-l] New book about Paul Otlet in French

A Belgian publisher, Les impressions nouvelles, announces the 
publication next month of a book by Françoise Levie "L'homme qui voulait 
classer le monde: Paul Otlet et le Mondaneum. (The man who wanted to 
systematize the world: Paul Otlet and the Mondaneum -- I'm not to keen 
of translation for "classer")
Reduced subscription price till Sept. 30.
See http://www.lesimpressionsnouvelles.com/OTLET.pdf
- this not a commercial ad on my part -
Mondaneum may be less attractive to techies than the semantic web, but ...
Nil novi sub sole.
