Abstract:
Introduction to Information Science is an exceedingly ambitious effort to offer an essentially definitive and catholic portrait of the discipline and its many professional manifestations. While exceedingly thorough and well-organized, the book could have benefitted from a more critical stance on some of its subject matter. Accessible, comprehensive, far-reaching and offering an impressive overview of the relevant literature, Introduction to Information Science is an outstanding resource that will likely serve as the standard text for the foreseeable future.
