Information professionals are concerned at all times with the quality of both the information they acquire and the information they provide. With the contemporary recognition of information as a high profile product with an intrinsic value, comes an increasing emphasis on its quality. This book, arising from a highly successful international seminar organized by NORDINFO, brings together a set of valuable insights into the management of quality in information systems, services and products. As the costs and benefits of modern information services are subjected to critical scrutiny, with increasing competition in the information market, and an ever-increasing demand from researchers, business, and the wider public for relevant information through effective channels, the issue of information quality has become a central theme of modern information management.

'Both managers and researchers of information services will find this to be a rewarding work. It is not filled with easy answers for either, but it is an honest work that reflects and illustrates the problems that confront us if we are to begin to understand more fully the problem of quality in information services.... It is highly recommended for managers and as absolute must for researchers in the field.'
