Information $8.95 We live an information-soaked existence – information pours into our lives through television, radio, books, and of course, the Internet. Some say we suffer from 'infoglut'. But what is information? The concept of 'information' is a profound one, rooted in mathematics, central to whole branches of science, yet with implications on every aspect of our everyday lives: DNA provides the information to create us; we learn through the information fed to us; we relate to each other throughinformation transfer – gossip, lectures, reading. Information is not only a mathematically powerful concept, but its critical role in society raises wider ethical issues: who owns information? Who controls its dissemination? Who has access to information?Luciano Floridi, a philosopher of information, cuts across many subjects, from a brief look at the mathematical roots of information – its definition and measurement in 'bits'- to its role in genetics (we are information), and its social meaning and value. He ends by considering the ethics of information, including issues of ownership, privacy, and accessibility; copyright and open source. For those unfamiliar with its precise meaning and wide applicability as a philosophical concept, 'information' may seem a bland or mundane topic. Those who have studied some science or philosophy or sociology will already be aware of its centrality and richness. But for all readers, whether from the humanities or sciences, Floridi gives a fascinating and inspirational introduction to this most fundamental of ideas. |

E-books in Libraries $199 In May 2007 a one-day seminar on “Putting content in context” at University College London stated in its introductory information, “E-books have finally become accepted in many organizations and licensed e-content is proliferating through library catalogues and web portals.” The development of electronic versions of printed books (or e-books) can be seen as part of the whole e-publishing phenomenon that began in the 1960s. E-books are fast becoming a central part of the modern library, and thus the practical issues surrounding their use must be considered. This e-book brings together a number of papers, mainly from the UK, providing much practical experience of library and information staff in academic and public libraries who have implemented e-book services. |
