A call for informed, responsible engagement with information
technology at the local level. The common rhetoric about technology
falls into two extreme categories: uncritical acceptance or blanket
rejection. Claiming a middle ground, Bonnie Nardi and Vicki O'Day
call for responsible, informed engagement with technology in local
settings, which they call information ecologies. An information
ecology is a system of people, practices, technologies, and values
in a local environment. Nardi and O'Day encourage the reader to
become more aware of the ways people and technology are
interrelated. They draw on their empirical research in offices,
libraries, schools, and hospitals to show how people can engage
their own values and commitments while using technology.
