Developing a Human Services Taxonomy: A Case Study
Abstract
As information technology has become increasingly accessible and familiar, and as the benefits have become increasingly well understood, the public's expectations and demands for information have grown. Nowhere is this more true than in the human services. A wide variety of professionals have found a need for systematic access to information about human service organizations in their communities and in response have developed resource files of varying degrees of sophistication. Whether the file is set up on a rolodex, in a printed directory, or in a complicated computerized system, those using it immediately recognize that they have to have a way of indexing and accessing the information that allows them to get to the right organization in a minimum of time.
