Introduction
Technical analysis is a financial term used to denote a security analysis discipline for forecasting
the direction of prices through the study of past market data, primarily price and volume. Behavioral
economics and quantitative analysis incorporate technical analysis, which being an aspect of
active management stands in contradiction to much of modern portfolio theory.

Notes The efficacy of both technical and fundamental analysis is disputed by efficient-
market hypothesis which states that stock market prices are essentially unpredictable.

9.1 Classification

Structure the workload with the comprehensive guide to the role and responsibilities of library
technicians. More than basic instructions on how to do library classification, this classic work is a
how-to hand book covering all aspects of a library technician’s job. Cataloguing and Classification
for Library Technicians, Second Edition, gives step-by-step instructions for all aspects of cataloguing
and classification of library materials, emphasizing copy cataloguing but also discussing original
cataloguing. Because much has changed in the library field since the first edition of the valuable
resource was published in 1995, each chapter has been revised and updated, and an entire new
chapter has been added to discuss computer cataloguing in the MARC format and cataloguing of
Internet materials. Cataloguing and Classification for Library Technicians, Second Edition, interprets
and explains cataloguing rules and how they should be applied.

Kao describes library organization and personnel patterns to illustrate the relationship between
library technicians and other library staff. Library technicians will find many helpful features in
Cataloguing and Classification for Library Technicians, Second Edition, including: definitions of
relevant terminology review questions to focus learning a list of suggested readings routines and
responsibilities of library technicians issues and trends in library cataloging and classification
detailed tables and figures to enable easier learning many convenient Web addresses for up-to-date
