| '''[[Lead]]''' is a [[chemical element]]. It is a [[heavy metal]], and is abundant in nature. Lead has the symbol Pb (from the Latin Plumbum). Its [[atomic number]] is 82. Lead is a very corrosion-resistant, dense, ductile, and malleable blue-gray metal that has been used for at least 5,000 years.
| |
|
| |
|
| Early uses of lead included building materials, [[pigments]] for [[glazing]] [[ceramics]], and [[pipe]]s for transporting water. Prior to the early [[1900's]], uses of lead were primarily for [[ammunition]], [[brass]], burial vault liners, ceramic glazes, [[leaded glass]] and [[crystal]], [[paint]]s or other protective coatings, [[pewter]], and water lines and pipes. The advent of the [[electricity|electrical age]] and [[Communications Age|communications]], which were accelerated by technological developments in [[World War I]], resulted in the addition of [[bearing metals]], cable covering, [[caulking]] lead, [[solder]]s, and type metal to the list of lead uses. With the growth in production of [[Automobile|public and private motorized vehicles]] and the associated use of starting-lighting-ignition (SLI) [[lead-acid storage batteries]] and [[terne metal]] for gas tanks after World War I, demand for lead increased. Later, [[radiation shielding]] in [[Radiography|medical analysis]] and [[Television|video display equipment]] and as an [[Tetraethyl Lead|additive in gasoline]] also increased usage.

| Although bound up with the tradition of the ‘special library’, '''[[Information Management|information management]]''' differs from such earlier concepts in its focus on all kinds of information and a concern for the relationship between information provision and organizational performance. In many special libraries there had long been responsibility for managing internal documentation of various kinds, especially research reports. The history of this development is usefully explored by Black, Muddiman and Plant [1] who note the emergence of information management concepts following the end of the First World War, with the formal organization of ‘information bureaux’ in the establishment of ASLIB (the Association of Special Libraries and Information Bureaux) in the UK in 1924. Some techniques, however, were even older, witness Kaiser’s work on indexing [2][3]. Indeed, we can date many of the ideas of what is now called ‘information management’ (although ‘documentation’ is used as a near equivalent in much of Europe) to the founding by Otlet and La Fontaine of the International Institute of Bibliography in 1895
