The growing need for information professionals to be aware of and anticipate developments in information provision and information management at a transnational and international level is explored in this important book. With the implementation of the Single Market in Europe, contributors focus on central themes such as collaboration in education and training in Europe, European research networks, and directives of importance to information specialists. Freedom of information in Europe and access to information are assessed, and further papers explore themes of importance both within Europe and beyond its borders, including business information services, telecommunications developments, and the management of large and small information services. Essential reading for today's information managers.
