Description
Information science is the study of information phenomena, including the acquisition, storage, and manipulation of data, information,
and knowledge. It is by nature an interdisciplinary field. Researchers, managers, system users, and students need access to tools, terms,
and techniques that are spread out over a large literature in a number of different disciplines: information retrieval, database management,
office information systems, information technology, communication and networking, relevant computer hardware, and artificial intelligence.
This work facilitates the cross-use terms from the various contributing sub-areas of information science. With definitions of one-thousand
terms, in alphabetical order, the volume provides a unified, integrated, and concise guide to the field. Each term is annotated by one
or more references to the literature. Where possible, the first reference directs the user to a basic or seminal discussion of the term
and subsequent references show its usage in an information science-related application. This work will be an indispensable reference
for students, researchers, and professionals.
Audience
Researchers, graduate students, and senior undergraduate students in information science, computer science, library science, and management information systems, and information managers in industry.
