Digital consumers reshaping the information profession
Journal Title: Webology - Year 2008, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
The introductory paragraph to Digital consumers reshaping the information profession (p.1), explaining the choice of the title as "Digital consumers …" and not "Digital information consumers …", set the tone for a thought provoking outlook on the challenges faced. Although the book focuses on the behaviour of people visiting the virtual space of information, the Internet has redefined and widened the information domain, and since people use the Internet like a superstore for many things and many purposes, "it is almost impossible to say what information is and what it is not …".
