Information Science: The Basics offers an accessible introduction to the multifaceted field of Information Science (IS). Delving into its rich historical foundations, the book explores the complexities of the term "information" and the intricate information life cycle, from classification to preservation. Each chapter examines a different area within IS, providing a comprehensive survey of its history, technologies, and practices. This interdisciplinary field draws upon a diverse range of approaches, intersecting with humanities, social sciences, and technology fields. What sets IS apart is its unwavering emphasis on the interconnectedness of information, technology, and society. In the face of social, environmental, and biomedical challenges, the need for effective information sharing has become increasingly urgent. The volume discusses the risks and benefits associated with emerging technologies that enable this exchange, while also examining how IS, with its commitment to intellectual freedom, digital inclusion, and privacy protection, can contribute to the creation of a more open and equitable society.
Information Science: The Basics is an indispensable resource for anyone seeking to gain a deeper understanding of information and its profound impact on our world. Whether you are an undergraduate student interested in studying IS or considering a career in the information professions, this book provides valuable insights and perspectives.
