What is Information Science? This comprehensive book answers this key question by providing a detailed definition and analysis of information science and how it differs from data science and library science.
Drawing on a range of practical examples, the book explores how information science uniquely cuts across disciplines and integrates different streams of information into a coherent whole that makes sense for a particular problem. Starting with a historical overview of information science, subsequent chapters explore:
Communication tools;
Information integrity and behaviour;
Artificial intelligence and data science;
Information retrieval, curation and non-verbal information;
Information in technology, education and politics.
A core text for those teaching library and information science as well as practising librarians or those working in information and communication fields, Information Science is an authoritative and subject-defining publication.
