It is a practical day-to-day tool that will help to explain clearly and concisely over 5000 terms used in the profession. The second edition has been completely revised and approximately 2000 new terms added, mostly in the computing and telecommunications area, reflecting the growth of the Internet and its impact on the profession." "All the terms are arranged in one alphabetical sequence, but still incorporating the six themes present in the first edition: information sources, information handling, computers and telecommunications, management, research methodology, and publishing."
