The Meaning and Management of Information

Résumé du livre

In The Meaning and Management of Information, the authors take you on an unusual journey across a 'bridge' that connects various theories of information to actual information management practices. The theories are drawn from fields as diverse as anthropology, biology, physics, psychology, sociology, communications, information systems, and philosophy. The practices are those that we commonly use when we manage information in our everyday lives. Individuals will progress from "information anxiety" to "information mastery." They will learn not only learn how to evaluate their information but also how to manage the five major domains of information we deal with on a daily basis: personal, household, legal, financial, and employment.For those eager to embark on such a journey, The Meaning and Management of Information is an essential point of departure.
