Information users and usability in the digital age Chowdhury Gobinda; Chowdhury Sudatta Information users and usability constitute the main building blocks of today's electronic information world. This important new text is the first to give a holistic overview of all of the necessary issues relating to information users and the usability of information services in the digital world, including user-centred design, and the characteristics and behaviour of information users.

Pattern Calculus: Computing with Functions and Structures Jay Barry The pattern calculus is a new foundation for computation, in which the expressive power of functions and of data structures are fruitfully combined within pattern-matching functions. The best of existing foundations focus on either functions (in the lambda-calculus) or on data structures (in Turing machines) or compromise on both (as in object-orientation). By contrast, a small typed pattern calculus supports all the main programming styles, including functional, imperative, object-oriented and query-based styles. Indeed, it may help to support web services, to the extent that these are generic functions applied to partially specified data structures.

The politics of promoting freedom of information and expression in international librarianship: the IFLA/FAIFE project Byrne Alex This study traces the development and implementation of the FAIFE initiative by IFLA. It traces the origins of the decision to implement this initiative and assesses the outcomes of its first five years as it developed from a project into a continuing and central program of the Federation. Both the internal effects on IFLA and the consequences of the project for the profession of librarianship are explored. The Politics of Promoting Freedom of Information and Expression in International Librarianship: The IFLA/FAIFE Project offers a rare example of an international professional association in transition. In examining this project to promote unrestricted access to information as the reciprocal right of freedom of expression, the research becomes a case study of the politics of an expanding sense of professionalism.
