Informationsgerechtigkeit

Constant developments in information technologies make it necessary to take a detailed look at the subject of 'Information and Society'. In recent years many scholars and politicians have considered the question of how information is and should be distributed. The volume looks, for the first time, at the phenomenon of information justice from the perspective of various disciplines, thus defining a new field of interdisciplinary research. It deals with matters of accessibility and information ethics, access to information for various elements of the population, as well as a number of practical areas, with regard to the fundamental approaches to the (just) distribution of information (libraries, electronic media).
