The second edition of this definitive text gives a comprehensive
overview of all aspects of the subject, bringing it up-to-date with
analysis of the changes in the information environment, now largely
digital, and their implication for the discipline and professions.
Its approach is rooted in the philosophical, theoretical, and
conceptual foundations of the subject and in particular in
Floridi's ideas of the fourth revolution, hyperhistory, and onlife.
The theory-practice relationship is strongly emphasised throughout,
and the extensive literature coverage makes this a valuable
sourcebook. This second edition is extensively revised, with
largely new text, illustrations, and resources, and offers a global
perspective. The main topics covered include: foundations:
philosophies, theories, concepts, ethics, and historical
perspectives organising, retrieving, and analysing information and
data information behaviour, domain analysis, and digital literacies
digital technologies, information systems, and information
management information research methods and informetrics changing
modes of information communication, and information society the
nature and future of the information disciplines and professions.
This book will be a standard text for students of library and
information disciplines, including information science,
librarianship, information and knowledge management, archives and
records management, and digital humanities. It will also serve as
an introduction for those beginning research in these areas, and as
a resource for thoughtful and reflective practitioners.
