Information of the Image, 2nd Edition


Overview

This book is an exploration of, not an explanation of, information (in its recorded form), and the keepers of those records, the librarians. It presents a model of the way in which recorded messages are generated by and used by people, and it discusses the role of the intermediary-the librarian-whose task is to bring together those messages with people who would make use of them in some way.
