As you may know, in September of 2014, IGI Global released the third edition of its world renowned Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, edited by Dr. Mehdi Khosrow-Pour.  This well received ten-volume reference set includes over 800 research based articles contributed by thousands of scholars and researchers from more than 73 countries worldwide. Its comprehensive treatment of all aspects pertaining to information science and technology includes insightful, peer-reviewed advanced research articles from 17,000 plus researchers, directing readers to over 20,000 references and resources for further study.

The feedback from various sources for this edition has been very positive.  Below you will find a few recently published accolades for the Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, 3rd edition (10 Volume Set):

Though it’s a third edition, this massive set’s 760 articles are all new and aim to provide “the most comprehensive, innovative, and in-depth coverage of the current concepts, issues, and emerging technologies in the field of information science and technology.” […]  Verdict: Large academic libraries will find that this massive, up-to-date undertaking fills coverage gaps in many areas, including computing, social science, and business.

– Henrietta Verma, Library Journal, November 2014

The Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology (3rd Edition) is not just for academics and government executives. CIOs and managers of major information systems will find tremendous value, as will their counterparts in the commercial sector. In addition, MBA students as well as project management and IT students will appreciate discovering the unique comprehensive coverage and up-to-date definitions of the most important issues, concepts, trends and technologies in IS and IT. The Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology 3rd Edition, don’t try to understand the present IS&T world without it.

– Professor James A. Rodger, Indiana University of Pennsylvania, USA>

One of the biggest events in the global publishing market, this 10-volume encyclopedia is a compendium of knowledge about the complex issues related to ICT. Both an academic textbook and cookbook for practitioners operating in this area, it was developed by experts from around the world. Dr. Mehdi Khosrow-Pour managed the work, which guarantees a high quality development. Presented knowledge will be useful especially for students: economics, management, engineering, production, and students of MBA and other postgraduate studies, as well as for managers and employees in all types of organizations. The book is written in plain language and does not require special preparation to understand its contents. Its advantage is the actuality of issues relating to the teachings of ICT.
