As information service management becomes increasingly critical in the 1980s, its attention is no longer limited to the acquisition, indexing, and storage of documents. Instead, it is taking on an expanded role in the understanding and analysis of economic issues and the management of technological innovation, This collection defines the dimensions of this expanded role and suggests strategies for improved information service management. Three principal areas related to information policy and decision making are covered: economics and government policy, management and marketing of services, and innovations and the impacts of technology. The book provides a practical and comprehensive background and framework for librarians, students of information science, information center managers, and others who are concerned with effective management of information services.
