    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    It can be challenging to define information science as a discipline. This book helps to build a systematic viewpoint whilst acknowledging everyday practical applications.

    Long description:

    What is Information Science? This comprehensive book answers this key question by providing a detailed definition and analysis of information science and how it differs from data science and library science.

    Drawing on a range of practical examples, the book explores how information science uniquely cuts across disciplines and integrates different streams of information into a coherent whole that makes sense for a particular problem. Starting with a historical overview of information science, subsequent chapters explore:

    • Communication tools;
    • Information integrity and behaviour;
    • Artificial intelligence and data science;
    • Information retrieval, curation and non-verbal information;
    • Information in technology, education and politics.

    A core text for those teaching library and information science as well as practising librarians or those working in information and communication fields, Information Science is an authoritative and subject-defining publication.
