Overview
Information resource management is too often seen as a domain dominated by technology, or, at best, one in which human considerations are secondary to and dependent on technological systems. Socio-Technical and Human Cognition Elements of Information Systems brings together chapters from Europe, Australasia, Canada and the Americas, all drawn together by the common theme of the book. It will present information management not as technology influenced by people, but as fundamentally a people-centred domain.

Researchers and practitioners look at key aspects of information systems, attempting to balance social, technical, and cognitive perspectives. The three perspectives are each presented in sections edited by separate managing editors from the UK, Canada, and Australia. An introductory section discusses how the three perspectives can be viewed together, setting the stage for the rest of the text. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
