Download or read book Information Brokers and Reference Services written by Robin Kinder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contradictory yet complementary relationship between libraries and information brokers is examined in this volume, first published in 1988. Since its escalation in the 1960s, information brokering has challenged the role of the library in society. Librarians discuss their concerns about information brokers - the impact of brokers on reference services, the competence of brokers, abuse of library services by brokers, and whether libraries should provide competing fee-based services. Brokers share their own view as ‘entrepreneurs’, providing background, offering advice, and explaining the risks involved in their business. This lively, often controversial discussion offers suggestions for improving relations between libraries and information brokers, while continuing to serve the public well.

Download or read book Intelligent Techniques in E Commerce written by Zhaohao Sun and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-03-20 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E-commerce has passed through a number of stages in the minds of most readers of the daily press. Initially it was the province of the specialist and considered almost irrelevant to the needs and activities of everyday life - companies looking for venture capital in this area had little if any chance of obtaining sufficient funds from the rather conservative investors who provided the only source of start-up capital. Then came the dot. com boom -and suddenly e-commerce was the most exciting topic possible! Venture capital was available from every possible source and almost any company with a . com in its name could be assured of instant funding on request. This boom was, inevitably, followed by the dot. com bust and the press wamed that the days of e-commerce were gone, perhaps never to return. This apparently confusing 'stages of growth' model is in reality nothing ofthe sort. E-commerce is simply the logical outcome of combining computers with tele communications networks. The astonishing changes which a global economy has brought with it are reflected in the changes to the way we do business which are increasingly synonymous with e-commerce. Indeed, the term e-commerce itself is coming to mean only the transaction-based component of e-business-'any process that a business organisation conducts over a computer-mediated network' as Thomas Mesenbourg ofthe U. S. Census Bureau said in 1999.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behind the Bits provides a broad overview of the media field, addressing all areas, but focusing on television and the driving forces behind it. The authors unveil the interlocking network that structures power in the media world: business, government, and the increasingly concentrated upper echelons of the media itself. Beginning with an examination of truth in advertising, the discussion moves to an analysis of news editing and the different forces behind the release of information to the public through the media. Also analyzed is the increasing effect of electronic technology on the media and where it may be headed in the next century. The book's practical nature provides questions for discussion with each chapter and suggestions for a more critical evaluative attitude toward the media.
