Editorials
Library Journal
Our information age has witnessed not only a staggering increase in the generation, collection, processing, and distribution of information but also a mushroom of concerns about data security, personal privacy, data protection, and the ethical handling of information. This collection of articles provides much-needed information on the newly emerging fields of information security and ethics. Nemati (information systems, Univ. of North Carolina, Greensboro), who has a solid track record from his tenure as editor in chief of the International Journal of Information Security and Privacy , has carefully selected and organized over 300 essays by theme. The ten- to 16-page essays are written by over 700 academics from around the world and cover topics ranging from authentication and confidentiality to cryptographic tools and cyber crime. They present a spectrum of theories and models that guide us through the newest technologies, standards, and best practices. The volumes are carefully indexed with extensive footnotes; most contain the jargon and acronyms of the various disciplines. BOTTOM LINE The book targets the graduate student and experienced practitioner familiar with the complex world of taxonomies, architectures, algorithms, and computer codes. It is pricey, but since few other resources of this scope are available, it would be a valuable addition to upper-level university and research collections. And because information technology changes so rapidly, the publisher offers buyers free online updates. [Online version may be purchaesd for $1650. Libraries that purchase the print set get free access to the online version. More information is available onigi-global.com.-Ed.]-Hazel Cameron, PACCAR Inc., Bellevue, WA
