Just how cataloguing is done of the books using certain codes
,in a similar our memory encodes information and stores is for
later on retrieval by using those codes as cues.When information
comes into our memory system (from sensory input), it needs to be
changed into a form that the system can cope with, so that it can
be stored. For example, a word which is seen (in a book) may be
stored if it is changed (encoded) into a sound or a meaning (i.e.
semantic processing).
There are three main ways in which information can be encoded
(changed): . Visual (picture); Acoustic (sound) and Semantic
(meaning)
The principle encoding system in long-term memory (LTM) appears
to be semantic coding (by meaning). However, information in LTM can
also be coded both visually and acoustically.
Similarly,In library cataloguing, is the process of creating
metadata representing information resources, such as books, sound
recordings, moving images, etc. Cataloging provides information
such as creator names, titles, and subject terms that describe
resources, typically through the creation of bibliographic records.
The records serve as surrogates for the stored information
resources.
The records are coded and stored in computers which can be used
to find the book like how memory uses cues to find the stored
information.
