It Strategies for Information Management by David Bawden

Suggests that the exploitation of information technology is lagging far behind its current potential, and attributes this both to the lack of readily usable software, and to the general belief that the proper commercial software product will substitute for the significant amount of intellectural effort that establishing and maintaining a system in fact requires. Deals with the impact of the introduction of information technology and office automation on information services, the departments providing that service, and the individuals working in the department. Presents criteria for deciding whether an investment in such a system is justifiable, and discusses legal, security, and conservation implications. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
