IN PRAISE OF
"Freedom of Information in a Post 9-11 World is a fascinating, yet disturbing, examination of the impact of 9-11 on international academic and corporate research. This first scholarly examination of the topic delves into the implications of free access to technical information in a variety of fields such as communication, business, and science. Different authors examine the impact of 9-11 on their various fields of study and discuss future challenges.
This book is a fascinating look at how academic and high-tech fields have been impacted by 9-11. I recommend it particularly for academic and business libraries."
—Sally Byrant, Public Services Supervisor, Drescher Graduate Campus Library, Pepperdine University, Journal of Access Services, Volume 3, Number 2
ABOUT THE BOOK
Freedom of Information in a Post 9-11 World is, to date, the first international
scholarly examination of the impact of the terrorist attack on the United States in
terms of how it may alter academic and corporate research, as well as the sharing of
information generated by that research, by international colleagues in technological
fields. The collection of essays brings together a widely varied panel of
communications experts from different backgrounds and cultures to focus their expertise
on the ramifications of this world-changing event. Drawing upon the related but
separate disciplines of law, interpersonal communication, semiotics, rhetoric,
management, information sciences, and education, the collection adds new insight to
the potential future challenges high-tech professionals and academics will face in a
global community that now seems much less communal than it did prior to September 11,
2001.
Intended Audience: Communications scholars and students in technical,
scientific, and business disciplines-particularly those that participate in the
global marketplace.
