Krátky popis
A short, informal account of our ever-increasing dependence on a
complex multiplicity of messages, records, documents, and data. We
live in an information society, or so we are often told. But what
does that mean? This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge
series offers a concise, informal account of the ways in which
information and society are related and of our ever-increasing
dependence on a complex multiplicity of messages, records,
documents, and data.Using information in its everyday,
nonspecialized sense, Michael Buckland explores the influence of
information on what we know, the role of communication and recorded
information in our daily lives, and the difficulty (or ease) of
finding information. He shows that all this involves human
perception, social behavior, changing technologies, and issues of
trust. Buckland argues that every society is an ",information
society",, a ",non-information society", would be a contradiction
in terms.But the shift from oral and gestural communication to
documents, and the wider use of documents facilitated by new
technologies, have made our society particularly information
intensive. Buckland describes the rising flood of data, documents,
and records, outlines the dramatic long-term growth of documents,
and traces the rise of techniques to cope with them. He examines
the physical manifestation of information as documents, the
emergence of data sets, and how documents and data are discovered
and used.He explores what individuals and societies do with
information, offers a basic summary of how collected documents are
arranged and described, considers the nature of naming, explains
the uses of metadata, and evaluates selection methods, considering
relevance, recall, and precision.
