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.
MoreLong description:
What is Information Science? This comprehensive book answers this key question and explains how information science differs from data science and library science.
Using a range of practical examples, the book explores how information science cuts across disciplines and integrates a range of information into a coherent whole. 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.
In Information Science, Seadle takes a hitherto unforeseen, and yet a novel and multifaceted approach to discuss the evolution, implications and applications of information as a concept, and information science as a discipline. The discussions, observations and commentaries appearing in the chapters throughout this book are a product of Seadle’s rich knowledge, research and scholarship, and senior management experience in the field of information science at national and global levels. This is a must read for anyone who wants to know and understand the role of information in the evolution of our society from the stone age to the modern era of Artificial Intelligence.
