Summary:
"Today's society is characterized by quick technological developments and constant changes to our information environments. One of the biggest changes has been in our workplace environments where technological developments have automated work processes that were previously done by manual labor, whilst new professions and work tasks have emerged in response to new methods of creating, sharing and using information. [This volume] provides a comprehensive account of information in the modern workplace. It includes a set of chapters examining and reviewing the major concepts within workplace information, from overarching themes of information cultures and ecologies, to strategic concerns of information management and governance"-- Provided by publisher.
