      abstract = {Are we at a turning point in digital information? The  expansion of the internet was unprecedented; search engines  dealt with it in the only way possible - scan as much as  they could and throw it all into an inverted index. But now  search engines are beginning to experiment with deep web  searching and attention to taxonomies, and the Semantic Web  is demonstrating how much more can be done with a computer  if you give it knowledge. What does this mean for the  skills and focus of the information science (or sciences)  community? Should information designers and information  managers work more closely to create computer based  information systems for more effective retrieval? Will  information science become part of computer science and  does the rise of the term informatics demonstrate the  convergence of information science and information  technology - a convergence that must surely develop in the  years to come? -- Back cover.},
