Produktinformationen "An Introduction to Information Studies"
We live our entire lives in an information society, but too frequently feel like
we are rushing to catch up with the latest technological changes. Despite the
overwhelming influence of information networks and their potential as tools for
social change, many find it difficult to put these changes into a broader
sociotechnical context.
An Introduction to Information Studies is a cutting-edge introductory textbook
which provides a broad survey of the field. Weaving together important insights
from information science, history, regulation and culture, the text frames the
social changes that have marked the first decades of the twenty-first century,
and highlights some of the most significant issues we face today. Topics covered
include organization, search, metadata, knowledge, open standards, and AI. The
text provides a starting point for understanding the connective threads that
guide technologies, and the relationships between social power and technological
change that remain constant in relation to information. Understanding these
relationships is essential to engaging ethically with large-scale social data
systems, and to shaping our collective futures.
Full of accessible examples and pedagogical features, An Introduction to
Information Studies is a field-defining textbook for undergraduates in
information studies, social data science, and information and communication
fields more generally. It is also an important resource for scholars,
policymakers, artists and engineers. Alexander Halavais is Associate
Professor of Social Data Science at Arizona State University.
