Customer Reviews

A good introduction

Very good at introducing basic concepts of info science. Particularly useful to librarians interested in thinking abstractly about their field. A good chapter on bibliometric research and content analysis. All around, a good primer in the area of information science... A solid and succinct addition to any library/info science collection.

A truly excellent guide and reference.

An excellent guide that provides basic introductions to web operations and organization, Melanie J. Norton's Introductory Concepts In Information Science uses recent research as well as scholarly and trade publications to provide a history of information science and the key concepts which have helped it advance. The depth of survey is startling for a slim-appearing title: it packs in a lot of basics and concepts.
