The first of its kind, this important new text provides a
much-needed introduction to the myriad information policy issues
that impact information professionals, information institutions,
and the patrons and communities served by those institutions. In
this key textbook for LIS students and reference text for
practitioners, noted scholars Jaeger and Taylor: draw from current,
authoritative sources to familiarize readers with the history of
information policy, discuss the broader societal issues shaped by
policy, including access to infrastructure, digital literacy and
inclusion, accessibility, and security, elucidate the specific
laws, regulations, and policies that impact information, including
net neutrality, filtering, privacy, openness, and much more, use
case studies from a range of institutions to examine the issues,
bolstered by discussion questions that encourage readers to delve
more deeply, explore the intersections of information policy with
human rights, civil rights, and professional ethics, and prepare
readers to turn their growing understanding of information policy
into action, through activism, advocacy, and education.
