商品描述
This manuscript is about an artifact, the Encyclopedia of Computer Science (ECS). From the time that computer science was mature enough to have its own reference book until printed reference books began to be eclipsed by online products--that is, roughly the final quarter of the 20th century--ECS was the premiere reference work for this field. A second purpose of this book is to introduce with this important case study a theoretical examination of how one can study the history of a professional field through a deep examination of its reference tools (encyclopedias, dictionaries, atlases, yearbooks, etc.). To better understand ECS, an examination was conducted on the extensive literature about the history of encyclopedias and then used it to ask probing questions about ECS.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這份手稿是關於一個文獻，計算機科學百科全書（ECS）。從計算機科學成熟到足以擁有自己的參考書籍的時候起，直到印刷參考書籍開始被線上產品所取代——也就是大約20世紀的最後四分之一——ECS一直是這個領域的首要參考作品。本書的第二個目的，是透過這個重要的案例研究，介紹如何通過深入研究其參考工具（百科全書、字典、地圖集、年鑑等）來理論性地檢視一個專業領域的歷史。為了更好地理解ECS，進行了一項對百科全書歷史的廣泛文獻檢視，並利用這些文獻對ECS提出深入的問題。
