| Abstract
|
:
|
"While there are numerous books that address information science as a scholarly discipline, for the most part they assume a prior knowledge of the field. The Problem of Information approaches the fundamental concepts and research issues of information science by exploring the indeterminate nature of information as an abstract object. It also delves into such cognate fields as computer science, cognitive psychology, semiotics, sociology, and political science." "Although The Problem of Information is designed specifically for beginning students in information studies, it offers the discriminating reader much food for thought."--Jacket.
