5.0 out of 5 stars Now we have a pretty nice textbook that brings it all together
Reviewed in the United States on 27 February 2015

Information science is a multidisciplinary field that is still emerging, trying to find itself. As a result, its foundational literature has previously been spread all over the place. Now we have a pretty nice textbook that brings it all together, giving newcomers to the field a really nice overview of the present state of the field, including areas where research and discussion are most sorely needed. This is one I'll be keeping and referring to time and again.

Very easy to read for a textbook. My professor is jumping through this book thematically instead of chapter by chapter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Introduction to the Field
Reviewed in the United States on 11 June 2017

This book is an excellent introduction to Information Science. I used it in a course for my Master's in Intelligence Studies as an introduction to data management and information science but I know our school also used this book for the Library Science Master's program. I'm sure it's well suited for either. Very well-written and easy to comprehend.
