Amazon is moving from simply selling books to offering the hardware and software for reading them. Apple still makes computer hardware but also manages one of the world’s leading marketplaces for music and software applications. Google maintains its position as the most popular internet search engine but has also digitised millions of copies of books from leading academic libraries and backed the development of the world’s most popular computing platform, Android. At the heart of these changes is the emergence of cheap computing devices for decoding and presenting digital information and a network that allows the bits and bytes to flow freely, for the moment at least, from producer to consumer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the digital revolution is impacting everyone who works with information, sometimes negatively, the second edition of \u003cem\u003eInformation 2.0\u003c\/em\u003e shows that the opportunities outweigh the risks for those who take the time to understand what is going on. Information has never been more abundant and accessible, so those who know how to manage it for the benefit of others in the digital age will be in great demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReadership:\u003c\/strong\u003e Students taking courses in library and information science, publishing and communication studies, with particular relevance to core modules exploring the information society and digital information.
