Description

With the growing capacity of networked digital information technologies to process large amounts of information in a timely, efficient and user-driven manner we have seen an increasing demand for better access to and re-use of public sector information (PSI). Volume 1 draws together papers on the topic by policymakers, academics and practitioners.

Reviews

'This book would be a great addition to any reference or government information collection, particularly one emphasizing the intersection of public sector information and open access licensing for multimedia content. Any interdisciplinary study of copyright and fair use, whether related directly to public sector information or to the Internet in general, would also benefit greatly from this title.' -- Tom Adamich * DttP: Documents to the People *
