In the present generation, the attention paid to information
continues to grow in importance. Much of this attention has been
the result of an explosion in data-processing technology, with
computers serving as the primary catalyst. However, other national
events, such as hurricanes, floods, crime, and terror, are clearly
tied to the importance of obtaining and processing information in
our daily lives as well. For the last several decades, educational
systems have responded to these technological advances by
introducing, at an early age, the important role data-processing
technology presents and will continue to represent. Many schools
now include courses in computer science as part of their
curriculum. Information Science 101 helps high school and college
freshman identify and understand careers in information science.
With this text, author Anthony Debons, one of the early founders of
the discipline of Information Science, gives attention to the role
of various disciplines in the field: library/documentation,
tele-transmission, computer science and practice, decision
making/problem solving, knowledge organization, and management.
With examples, illustrations, chapter summaries, and exercises to
help marry the human with the technological aspects of the field,
this text gives a complete overview of Information Science, from
its origins to the future of the field.
