The Impact of Information Policy

the long version

"While information policy studies often consider such factors as ideology, underlying policy, the policy process, the stakeholders and players in that process, and the nature of the outcomes of policy development, there have been few studies that focus on the ultimate effects of information policy. This book focuses on government-wide information policies on a specific government agency in terms of its dissemination policies for the information it provides, and the book examines the effects of the ensuing agency information policies on social science research."--BOOK JACKET.
