Produktbeschreibung

What is Information Science? This comprehensive book answers this key question and explains how information science differs from data science and library science.

Using a range of practical examples, the book explores how information science cuts across disciplines and integrates a range of information into a coherent whole. Starting with a historical overview of information science, subsequent chapters explore:

• communication tools
• information integrity and behaviour
• artificial intelligence and data science
• information retrieval, curation and non-verbal information
• information in technology, education and politics.

A core text for those teaching library and information science as well as practising librarians or those working in information and communication fields, Information Science is an authoritative and subject-defining publication.
