International encyclopedia of information and library science 2nd edition

— Paul Sturges - Nama Orang; John Feather - Nama Orang;

The International Encyclopedia of Information and Library Science, 2nd edition edited by John Feather and Paul Sturges (2003), is a comprehensive A–Z reference of nearly 600 entries authored by over 150 international experts, spanning around 688 pages. Built upon the acclaimed first edition, it is thoroughly revised to reflect modern shifts—most notably the rise of the internet and digital technologies—including new or expanded articles on information systems, information law, the information society, search engines, portals, and the World Wide Web, alongside traditional topics like classification, cataloguing, archives, museums, and mobile library services. The core framework comprises twelve in-depth thematic essays—covering communication, economics of information, informatics, information management and policy, the information professions, theory, knowledge industries and management, and organization of knowledge—while shorter entries define key terms (from camel‑based mobile libraries to packet switching), provide biographical sketches, and include extensive cross‑referencing, bibliographies, and further‑reading guidance. The encyclopedia emphasizes information science as the “currency” of study, with substantive geographic breadth and richer coverage of archives, museums, and developing‑country contexts, making it an essential, updated resource for both practitioners and students in the field.
