SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON INFORMATION CONCEPTS RETR...

This book seeks to advance our understanding of the relationship between information and human
values by synthesizing the complementary but typically disconnected threads in the literature 
reflecting on my 15 years of research on the relationship between information and human values
advancing our intellectual understanding of the key facets of this topic  and encouraging
further research to continue exploring this important and timely research topic. The book
begins with an explanation of what human values are and why they are important. Next  three
distinct literatures on values  information  and technology are analyzed and synthesized 
including the social psychology literature on human values  the information studies literature
on the core values of librarianship  and the human-computer interaction literature on
value-sensitive design. After that  three detailed case studies are presented based on
reflections on a wide range of research studies. The first case study focuses on the role of
human values in the design and use of educational simulations. The second case study focuses on
the role of human values in the design and use of computational models. The final case study
explores human values in communication via  about  or using information technology. The book
concludes by laying out a values and design cycle for studying values in information and
presenting an agenda for further research.
