1 online resource. Service science is a new trans-disciplinary field that touches on subjects such as computer science, engineering, management, business, and the social and cognitive sciences. This book demonstrates to information professionals in all sectors that this new discipline exists and why it is relevant to them. It has emerged as we transition to a service and information-based economy, and libraries will deal with both information and services.
