Description
The
Encyclopedia of Information Systems provides essential answers to questions increasingly asked by people in all
walks of life. People can no longer claim that information about computer viruses, for example, is unimportant to their work, or that
advances in speech recognition and encryption will leave them unaffected. The
Encyclopedia is therefore more useful
than one might suspect to people well beyond the walls of information systems departments. Offering both general and technical information
about major elements, issues, opinions, and key studies, as well as cross-references to related subjects, it captures the dynamic growth
and complexity unique to our era.
Audience:
Major college and university libraries and a wide range of corporations and groups interested in and dependent on information systems.
Among industries expected to become increasingly dependent upon information systems and active in interpreting the many issues surrounding
their use are: health, medical, biotechnology, military, law enforcement, law firms, justice, libraries, manufacturing, financial services,
insurance, communications, transportation, aerospace, energy, and utilities.
