This volume covers strategic, legal, management, and marketing issues and highlights the importance of new web-based delivery mechanisms. It includes contributions from outside the UK, mirroring the global nature of information management.

* essential reference to core theories and principles of information organization, retrieval and dissemination
* a new chapter exploring the legal issues involved with information on the Internet
