This book draws upon three case studies to interrogate risk’s informational thread, including how people map and orient themselves to risk information as well as how these activities shape their increasingly knowledgeable performance within a risk situation.  This book offers a novel theoretical, methodological and practical approach for considering how risk responses are informed. As the first full-length treatment of this topic, the book provides insight into how people become knowledgeable about risk, including the various sources of information on which they draw and the social and political conditions that shape access to these information environments. In further centring developmental change, the book also sheds light onto the discontinuities that risk creates as well as the need to adjust to alterations in roles and responsibilities. Resulting in the production of a robust definition and conceptual framework for risk-informed information practice, the book’s broad approach, which involves a consideration of risk understanding alongside the more typical risk perception and management, further integrates reflection on the methodological implications of this work.  The book’s focus on research and practice means that it will be of interest to risk and information professionals, including those with responsibility for risk messaging, information literacy instruction and patient interaction. The conceptual focus further means that this book will be invaluable for information literacy and risk scholars looking to extend their understanding of how people develop knowing when things of value are at stake.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51598363361553,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51598363689233,"sku":"NGR9781032613833","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52597963784465,"sku":"NLS9781032613833","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53575223116049,"sku":"NIN9781032613833","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1032613831.jpg?v=1751557230"},{"product_id":"social-informatics-book-noriko-hara-9781032678504","title":"Social Informatics","description":"Social informatics examines how society is influenced by digital technologies and how digital technologies are shaped by political, economic, and socio-cultural forces. The chapters in this edited volume use social informatics approaches to analyze recent issues in our increasingly data-intensive society.  Taking a social informatics perspective, this edited volume investigates the interaction between society and digital technologies and includes research that examines individuals, groups, organizations, and nations, as well as their complex relationships with pervasive mobile and wearable devices, social media platforms, artificial intelligence, and big data. This volume’s contributors range from seasoned and renowned researchers to upcoming researchers in social informatics. The readers of the book will understand theoretical frameworks of social informatics; gain insights into recent empirical studies of social informatics in specific areas such as big data and its effects on privacy, ethical issues related to digital technologies, and the implications of digital technologies for daily practices; and learn how the social informatics perspective informs research and practice.  Social Informatics provides the first book-length overview of Social Informatic research in recent years and will be essential reading for academics and students engaged in the study of information science, internet studies, emerging technologies, digital media, new media studies, computer science, the sociology of communication, and data science.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51627188551953,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51627188879633,"sku":"NGR9781032678504","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52598965240081,"sku":"NLS9781032678504","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/103267850X.jpg?v=1751111082"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/global-perspectives-on-library-and-information-science-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
