Essential Law for Information Professionals"This introductory text offers both a complete picture of the law as it affects information management and an exploration of the fundamental principles that underlie practice. Where appropriate it uses individual cases to illustrate legal principles and contextualize specific regulations. Legal information often appears dense and impenetrable, but this approachable text cuts through the legalese to present the reader with exactly the information they need in a digestible form. It aims to stimulate interest and raise levels of legal awareness in the profession, particularly with regard to key ethical and policy issues." "This is an essential deskbook for every information worker, enabling them to quickly identify and assess the legal hazards that may be associated with their work. It is also the perfect textbook of law for information studies students."--BOOK JACKET. |
