This series brings together research from a wide spectrum of disciplines-information science, political science, library science, international relations, to name a few-that share the unifying purpose of understanding communication and information processing. It gives the reader both current reviews of those diverse areas that fall within the broad rubrics of information and communication science, as well as an overview of how people use information. The volumes report on research in three important areas: information transfer and information systems; the uses and effects of communications; and the control of communications and information.
