Description: "In this series of four essays, Richard J. Cox explores the social and professional ramifications of 9/11 on our information landscape. "Musing," written on the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks, looks back at a year of change and commemoration. "Reacting" examines the impact of 9/11 on a department of information sciences. "Preparing" is a cogent argument for the need to rethink current disaster and contingency planning practices. "Teaching" focuses on the author's experiences developing and teaching a doctoral seminar on the role of the information professional in a post-9/11 world. Neither a cautionary tale nor personal advice, Flowers after the Funeral, in its simplicity and thoughtfulness, is certain to provide both comfort and inspiration to its readers."--Jacket.
