商品簡介
Debons (emeritus, information science, University of Pittsburgh) overviews the field of information science, looking at various aspects including library/documentation, tele-transmission, computer science and practice, decision making and problem solving, knowledge organization, and management. Chapters are in sections on the nature and origins of information science; the science and structure of an augmented data, information, and knowledge (ADIK) system; the knowledge subsystem; and social issues. Learning features include chapter objectives, overviews, summaries, and exercises, plus a glossary. Cartoons, photos, illustrations, and quotations are included in a simple b&w layout. Although the book is billed as intended for high school as well as college students, only the most motivated high school students will make it past the dense blocks of small type.
