1. Describe three important processes of information organization in libraries.

Arrange and classify are two of the most significant information organizing activities in
libraries. When materials are received, they are physically sorted and categorized in this
procedure. Dewey Decimal Classification and Library of Congress Classification were used
to organize the information. The Cataloguing and Classification Process is the next step.
Following the arrival of fresh resources and the creation of a description of the physical
thing, the initial activity is to create a description of the item. For example, authorization
work, subject analysis, and setting a call number can all be done by selecting specific names
and tiles as access points. MARC is the third procedure (Machine Readable Format). This
information is nearly always placed into the MARC record, from whence it may be retrieved
online through union catalogues like OCLC, UBC, and the Coastal Library Consortium.

2. How information can be digitized?

The selection of papers and scanning are two of the five processes in the process of
constructing a digital library. Scanning or turning printed documents' text or images into
digital format. Storage and management are the next steps. The industry standard for the
generation, storage, and transmission of digital data. The third step is to do a search and
gain access to information. This is accessible 365 days a year over the internet from
anywhere and by anyone. Distribution is the fourth phase. Material is stored on separate
machines that are connected via a network. The difficulty in managing this data is selecting
how to store it and how users will connect to it, search for it, and retrieve it. The fifth step is
to control your rights.
