Review
‘Marchionini has drawn together a number of important threads from the field of human-computer interaction. This is a scholarly work which contains a considerable depth of discussion … it will certainly repay careful study.’ Managing Information

Review
“…a thought-provoking and in-depth examination of information seeking in electronic environments….a worthwhile purchase for anyone interested in an in-depth review and study of information seeking behaviors and how they have changed in, and because of, electronic environments. It would be an excellent auxiliary textbook for any course concerned with human-computer interaction in library science or computer science.” Kathleen Fleming, Resource Sharing and Information Networks”The book largely succeeds in its purposes. It is well written and makes good use of the literature…The structure of the book and the flow of ideas are logical and coherent, and researchers and practitioners in information retrieval will find it useful…this book provides a useful and timely contribution to the literature.” S. Smithson, Computing Reviews”…a welcome and needed addition to the information science literature…a well-written text on information seeking that is easily accessible by a broad audience…a great place to start building understanding of the information seeking process.” Janette R. Hill, Journal of the American Society for Information Science”Very timely…a requirement for every undergraduate computer science and information science library.” J. Beidler, Choice”Marchionini’s book is interesting and thought provoking….It is very likely to become a text for library and information sciences seminars in information retrieval; it should be read by those in academic health sciences center libraries and hospital libraries who have responsibility for (or a personal interest in) education for information management and information retrieval from or in electronic settings.” Ellen Gay Detlefsen, Bulletin of the Medical Library Association”This book is recommended reading for graduate students in library information science as well as researchers and parctitioners. It provides a valuable, thoughful discussion of an important topic for all those concerened with developing information systems for addressing information seeking rather than information retrieval.” Carol C, Kuhlthau, The Library Quarterly”…a thought-provoking and in-depth examination of information seeking in electronic environments….a worthwhile purchase for anyone interested in an in-depth review and study of information seeking behaviors and how they have changed in, and because of, electronic environments.

Hill, Journal of the American Society for Information Science”This book achieves some understanding of the differences in the way people search for information and the way various searching software facilitates this….is academically written….is recommended for those designing search software, and will be useful, though not instructive, for academic libraries and those who instruct clients in the process of seeking information in electronic environments.” Public Library Quarterly

Product Description
Aimed primarily at final year undergraduate courses and MSc courses on Information Systems, Management of Information Systems and Design of Information Systems, this textbook aims to provide answers to five questions;What is security? What are the security problems particular to an IT system? What can be done to reduce the security risks associated with such a system? In a given situation, what are the appropriate security countermeasures? How should one set about procuring an information system with security implications?It looks at the different goals organisations might have in employing security techniques (availability, integrity, confidentiality, exclusivity) and which technique is best suited to achieving each goal. With guidelines appropriate for the protection of both conventional commercial and military systems, An Information Security Handbook will be of interest to computer system managers and administrators in any commercial or government organisation.

Product Description
Equipment for computer relaying is now beginning to be installed on power systems throughout the world. Such relays, in addition to providing protection for power apparatus and systems, add a new capability to the protective equipment of the substation: the ability to communicate with the other local and remote computer systems. Through this ability, many novel ideas can be realised, such as the newly initiated field of adaptive relaying. The authors have worked in the area for 20 years and have originated many new ideas that have led to successful field applications.

From the Publisher
This text/reference presents a comprehensive, up-to-date account of computer relaying in power systems, based in part on the authors’ extensive experience in the field. Provides background material on current relaying practices, and covers the mathematical foundations for relaying algorithms. Each chapter contains helpful illustrations, examples, and problems.

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This book discusses the issues arising from the emerging discipline of User Interface Systems Engineering (UISE). It contains contributions from software engineers involved in the development and implementation of systems, systems modellers charged with developing representations for systems, and tool builders developing enhanced software tools for systems developers. By providing different viewpoints this book bridges the gap between these groups of previously distant practitioners. The contributions in this book have been carefully updated and edited to provide a clear review of the current state of the art in this important area. Critical Issues in User Interface Systems Engineering will be appropriate for a wide range of specialist courses on user interface development, particularly software engineering courses on user interface design and for courses on human-computer interaction which emphasise the need to implement rather than simply discuss interfaces.

Product Description
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th Asia-Pacific Computer Systems Architecture Conference, ACSAC 2006, held in Shanghai in September 2006. The 60 revised full papers presented together with 3 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions and they address issues as processor and network design, reconfigurable computing and operating systems, including both low- level design issues in hardware and systems. There are papers describing large and significant computer-based infrastructure projects and also many papers which reflect the move to concurrency on chip in multi-core devices and many more are concerned with the significant problems industry will face with stricter budgets in power dissipation.
