The aim of each volume of this series Guides to Information Sources is to reduce the time which needs to be spent on patient searching and to recommend the best starting point and sources most likely to yield the desired information. The criteria for selection provide a way into a subject to those new to the field and assists in identifying major new or possibly unexplored sources to those who already have some acquaintance with it. The series attempts to achieve evaluation through a careful selection of sources and through the comments provided on those sources.

This book focuses on the effects of information policy. While information policy studies often consider the ideology underlying policy, the policy process, the stakeholders and players in that process, and the nature of the outcomes of policy development, there have been few studies that focus on the ultimate effects of information policy. This book looks at effects from two perspectives. First, it examines the impact of government-wide information policies on a specific government agency in terms of its dissemination policies for the information it provides. Secondly, the effects of the ensuing agency information policies on social science research are examined. The government-wide policies of interest here are cost-recovery and restraint initiatives imposed by the Canadian federal government in the mid-1980s. The policy statements specifically identified government information as an area in which increased revenues could be generated. Such de facto information policies can have a wide effect on government information production and dissemination. In this book, the history and background of the policies is considered and the effects were empirically examined using multiple methods of analysis. The period covered is mid-1980s through mid-1990s. An epilogue chapter provides information on recent policy developments in Canada and the continuing effects of the policies of the 1980s.

Patrik O'Brian Holt Heriot-Watt University After speech, writing is the most common form of human communication and represents the cornerstone of our ability to preserve and record information. Writing, by its very definition, requires artifacts in the form of tools to write with and a medium to write on. Through history these artifacts have ranged from sticks and clay tablets, feather and leather, crude pens and paper, sophisticated pens and paper, typewriters and paper; and electronic devices with or without paper. The development of writing tools has straightforward objectives, to make writing easier and more effective and assist in distributing written communication fast and efficiently. Both the crudest and most sophisticated forms of writing tools act as mediators of human written communication for the purpose of producing, distributing and conserving written language. In the modern world the computer is arguably the most sophisticated form of mediation, the implications of which are not yet fully understood. The use of computers (a writing artifact which mediates communication) for the production and editing of text is almost as old as computers themselves. Early computers involved the use of crude text editors and a writer had to insert commands resembling a programming language to format and print a document. For example to underline a word the writer had to do the following, This is an example of how to .ul underline a single word. in order to produce: This is an example of how to underline a single word.

This book is one of a series of various doctoral research project papers and has been further refined and converted into a book. The book has been deemed one of further versions of management science that are to come. These further versions focus more on information technology and its effects as agile tools for management, including software engineering, algorithms and data structures, computer architecture and electronics, systems science, artificial intelligence and robotics, quantum science, statistics, and web-internet and multimedia design and building. Managers are usually multifaceted with multiple disciplines even though they have one or two areas as majors, specialties, or experience. It is in the light of this that Management Science Featuring Micro-Macro Economics and Management of Information Technology was designed in this context to contain economics with IT as a course of study. In the future, further versions will be pure courses instead of combinations. The world has changed gear for the better due to the advanced mysteries of information technology innovations so that we could even conduct scientific laboratory experiments, medical diagnoses, and rule of law adjudications online. That means we could not forget information technology as one major tool in hand that should be a pivot on and around which all other areas in management should dwell and revolve, and this was one of the sole reasons of this book. It is therefore worthy of note for readers aspiring as systems analysts, managers, and professionals to accustom themselves to the subject areas in the book to instill understanding of numerous important terms and points in economics and IT. This will help to build further courage and understanding toward advancement in these fields. All topics indicated in the table of contents have been made reader friendly and treated to focus easy understanding. We highly acknowledge all the intellectual materials used.
