Toronto: Univ. of Toronto Pr., 2004. 311p. alk. paper, $65 (ISBN 0802088392). LC 2004-276469. 2005-09-01 3 .pdf application/pdf 1868 83 46 The authority of science information systems and studies is invoked to validate the importance of the task of deflating information, but the book shifts between general and scientific information studies to validate critiques from one arena to the other. Frohmann then proceeds to identify the contradictory uses of “infor- mation” and the epistemological assump- tions built on that basis in the study of scientific information systems. cache/crl-15754.pdf txt/crl-15754.txt
