Introductory
Concepts in Information Science, Second Edition
By Melanie J. Norton
“This slim volume is remarkable
in two ways: It provides a fresh and contemporary account of
information science, and it is, for once, a book that is not too long!”
— Michael
Buckland
In this updated and expanded edition of her
widely read 2000 book, Melanie J. Norton presents a unique and
carefully researched introduction to the practical and theoretical
concepts of information science and examines the impact of the
Information Age on society and its institutions.
Drawing on recent research into the field,
as well as from scholarly and trade publications, the author provides a
brief history of information science and coverage of key topics,
including communications and cognition, information retrieval,
bibliometrics, modeling, economics, information policies, and the
impact of information technology on modern management. Topics new to
the second edition include indexing, information repositories, and
digital libraries.
