Beschreibung
Information Spaces: The Architecture of Cyberspace is aimed at students taking information management as a minor in their course as well as those who manage document collections but who are not professional librarians. The first part of this book looks at how users find documents and the problems they have; the second part discusses how to manage the information space using various tools such as classification and controlled vocabularies. It also explores the general issues of publishing, including legal considerations, as well the main issues of creating and managing archives. Supported by exercises and discussion questions at the end of each chapter, the book includes some sample assignments suitable for use with students of this subject. A glossary is also provided to help readers understand the specialised vocabulary and the key concepts in the design and assessment of information spaces.
Approaches the subject from the information space perspective rather than from a pure computer science perspective The proliferation of documents on the web makes accessing difficult; this is a timely book showing non-information professionals how to structure information Most available texts on organising information are aimed at the information scientist/library professional, and do not cover the practical aspects of building the system This book combines both organising information, and building the systems in an accessible text Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
A practical guide on how to structure information for the Web for students and practitioners.
