Challenge and Change in the Information Society

Social and technological developments have caused a fundamental and ongoing rethinking of the role of information providers in society. Here is a multi-perspective collection, which will help out that process. Each chapter is written by an expert and contributions are divided into five sections encompassing broad themes. Part 1 outlines theories of the information society; Part 2 discusses policy and organizational perspectives; Part 3 addresses the technological imperative; Part 4 considers the implications of the information society and the individual; and Part 5 examines professional issues. For anyone interested in examining the changing nature of the global information society.Hornby, Susan is the author of 'Challenge and Change in the Information Society' with ISBN 9781856044530 and ISBN 185604453X.
