Information Systems

‘This book is not a simple ‘how to’ guide but really a set of pointers to launch the reader towards deeper research. The large number of references included with each chapter help to facilitate this, as even though research will inevitably move on, the citations will give good starting points into the literature for some years to come. Recommended for libraries that support LIS research and independent LIS researchers that wish to broaden the scope and application of their work.’ – Jon Knight * Journal of Librarianship and Information Science *
