Summary: This book is addressed to those who wish to continue their participation in the making of informed decisions. This book is not predominantly technical. The problems to be considered are far too important and complex to be resolved by technology alone. The authors were confronted with a mixture of interrelated problems; human, social, political, economic, and technological. All these aspects are involved in any attempt to provide, through the use of automated information retrieval technology, more equitable access to that form of power known as information.
