Publisher's Synopsis
Measuring the Information Society is a collection of research reports with the principal objective of studying facets of the emerging information society and the process by which new information age concepts enter the traditional environment and are transformed by it. The authors attempt to build models for researchers, giving both orientational materials on ways to study the information society and practical examples of how to integrate such studies into everyday political, economic and cultural life. The volume will be of interest to all researchers involved in measuring change relative to information society concepts as well as social and economic planners.@Q
