which will be discarded. New materials should be purchased in accordance with a collection development policy that reflects the present and future plans of the organisation. Before including anything in the collection, the librarian must analyse its value to researchers: Is the information reliable, biased, accurate and concise? This, too, should be done in close cooperation with other staff in the organisation. In the virtual world, operations are the same. Librarians can compile lists of links to relevant material in electronic format posted on the websites of partner institutions, or to screen websites or electronic repositories of e-documents of institutions with the same or similar mandate. If copyright clearances are obtained, then those documents can be stored in digital collections of the compiler. Organising Materials As publications are acquired and assembled in the library, the next important step is for the librarian to plan the orderly arrangement that assures each item can be found with a minimum of effort and time 5 . This means that the librarian should assign a code to every item based on some larger system of classification. Currently there are many classification systems in use. Most public and scientific libraries use Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) or the Library of Congress Classification Scheme. But, the human rights field has its own unique requirements. As Ivana Caccia, who created the Classification Scheme for Human Rights Documentation explains: “These are comprehensive systems of classifying and enumerating the overall body of human knowledge according to scientific disciplines and subdivisions, foreseeing all possible extensions and inclusions. Then there are specific ones, ranking categories and topics in a hierarchical manner based on the relationship existing among them with reference to a single common trait, property or use which, put together, form various components of a specific subject area. Many such specialised classifications are created by librarians and documentalists struggling with their growing collections on subjects which are too specialised or too heterogeneous in scope to the point of defying the breakdown of traditional 5 Ibidem, p. 18. 205
classifications by scientific disciplines or categories. For instance DDC [Dewey Decimal System] does not recognize existence of human rights, rather referring to the related term civil rights.” 6 For just these reasons separate systems of classification were created for dealing with materials related to human rights, including: • Classification Scheme for Human Rights Documentation (http://www.huridocs.org/tools/tools/classeng.doc in English or http://www.huridocs.org/tools/tools/classfra.doc in French); • Raoul Wallenberg Institute Classification Scheme (http://www.rwi.lu.se); • and Human Rights Centre Sarajevo Classification Scheme, a modified version of the Raoul Wallenberg Institute Classification (available from the author upon request). • UDC has been also used in the Council of Europe Human Rights Library (http://info.coe.int). In case of e-documents, procedures are similar. You can customise your Content Management System and place documents under categories or sections. Human rights education materials can be organised following the structure of events, so one may place documents divided by training session, or by dominating subject of the seminar. It should be kept in mind that any categorisation should be self-explanatory and without any mystical abbreviations. In case that somebody is for the first time planning a website or a digital repository, he/she has to note that it is expected to follow simple but necessary principles of Information Architecture. More information on IA can be found at the website of the Institute of Information Architects available at http://iainstitute.org. Especially their library section is valuable (http://iainstitute.org/library/). Furthermore a book by Jesse James Garret is highly recommendable. It is called: The Elements of User Experience:User-Centered Design for the Web published by New Riders Publishing. Chapter 2: Meet the Elements is available free of charge at http://www.jjg.net/elements/. 6 Ivana Caccia: A System of Subject Classification for Sorting and Storing Human Rights Materials, available at http://www.huridocs.org/. 206
