HISTORICAL STUDIES IN DOCUMENTATION: ‘BIBLIOGRAPHY’ AND ‘DOCUMENTATION’: WORDS AND IDEAS
Abstract
The word documentation, by which this journal describes its scope, is a partial synonym of bibliography, and the history of both words, through eighty years in one case and through four hundred in the other, reflects the development of highly significant ideas. This paper begins by discussing bibliography in the light of R. Blum's exhaustively learned treatise, and continues with an original exposition of documentation, which cannot claim to reach Blum's standard of thoroughness but does, it is hoped, set out correctly the important things.
