Preservation and Archiving covers the many issues involved in preserving historical documents and archiving important materials. The book addresses digitization, storage and retrieval systems, collection security issues, preservation of printed materials, salvaging damaged and jeopardized materials, and much more. Readers will gain an understanding of the broad range of challenges libraries face in preserving and archiving materials for future generations.

Cataloging and indexing in library and information science refers to the goal of identifying the most important characteristics of an information source and describing those characteristics using a standard cataloging or indexing system. Libraries have developed sophisticated ways of categorizing information so that library users can most effectively find the materials they need. This book covers a wide range of important issues in the field, including archival finding aids, search engines, the major indexing and abstracting databases, subject guides, vendor-supplied cataloging records, metadata, and much more. Readers will gain an appreciation of the importance of the role of cataloging and indexing of library materials.

Animal behavior—or ethology—is the systemic study of the behavior of animals. The field is highly integrative and draws on the fields of evolution, ecology, psychology, molecular biology, development, neurobiology, endocrinology, and more. This book looks at a range of topics covering a variety of animals, including how macaques teach their offApril, how rats transmit avoidance behavior, how supplementary feeding of treefrogs affects their breeding behavior, and more. Researchers studied a variety of animals, including macaque, mice, rats, fire ants, treefrogs, magpies, chicks, boobies, honey bees, caterpillars, elephants, and lions. Studies in animal behavior can have far-reaching implications for animals and humans alike, such as how humans can improve conservation efforts, how to better protect animals—both in the wild and in captivity (zoos), and what can be learned about humans from animals, such as how the human brain and behaviors might work.
