    Abstract
    "Dewey Defeats Truman." "Hillary Clinton Adopts Alien Baby." Fake news may have reached new notoriety since the 2016 US election, but it has been around a long time. Whether it was an error in judgment in a rush to publish election results in November, 1948, or a tabloid cover designed to incite an eye roll and a chuckle in June, 1993, fake news has permeated and influenced culture since the inception of the printed press. But now, when almost every press conference at the White House contains a declaration of the evils of "fake news", evaluating information integrity and quality is more important than ever. In All That?s Not Fit to Print, Amy Affelt offers tools and techniques for spotting fake news and discusses best practices for finding high quality sources, information, and data. Including an analysis of the relationship between fake news and social media, and potential remedies for viral fake news, Affelt explores the future of the press and the skills that librarians will need, not only to navigate these murky waters, but also to lead information consumers in to that future. For any librarian or information professional, or anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by the struggle of determining the true from the false, this book is a fundamental guide to facing the tides of fake news.

    Rez. in: Economist vom Jun 18.06.2016 [http://www.economist.com/news/books-and-arts/21700611-circle-circle]: "Everyone by nature desires to know," wrote Aristotle more than 2,000 years ago. But are there limits to what human beings can know? This is the question that Marcus du Sautoy, the British mathematician who succeeeded Richard Dawkins as the Simonyi professor for the public understanding of science at Oxford University, explores in "What We Cannot Know", his fascinating book on the limits of scientific knowledge. As Mr du Sautoy argues, this is a golden age of scientific knowledge. Remarkable achievements stretch across the sciences, from the Large Hadron Collider and the sequencing of the human genome to the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. And the rate of progress is accelerating: the number of scientific publications has doubled every nine years since the second world war. But even bigger challenges await. Can cancer be cured? Ageing beaten? Is there a "Theory of Everything" that will include all of physics? Can we know it all? One limit to people's knowledge is practical. In theory, if you throw a die, Newton's laws of motion make it possible to predict what number will come up. But the calculations are too long to be practicable. What is more, many natural systems, such as the weather, are "chaotic" or sensitive to small changes: a tiny nudge now can lead to vastly different behaviour later. Since people cannot measure with complete accuracy, they can't forecast far into the future. The problem was memorably articulated by Edward Lorenz, an American scientist, in 1972 in a famous paper called "Does the Flap of a Butterfly's Wings in Brazil Set Off a Tornado in Texas?"

    Rez. in: BvD-NEWS Sonderausgabe 2016 unter: https://www.stiftungdatenschutz.org/fileadmin/Redaktion/PDF/BvD-Sondernews-2016_Buchvorstellung.pdf (Rudi Kramer): "In der Reihe DatenDebatten erschien im April der Band 1 zur Zukunft der informationellen Selbstbestimmung, herausgegeben durch die Stiftung Datenschutz. Auf über 170 Seiten werden durch verschiedene Autoren unterschiedliche Aspekte beleuchtet und dargestellt. Die Zusammenstellung der Autoren umfasst bekannte Namen, die man entweder aus dem Umfeld der Stiftung Datenschutz wahrgenommen hat, oder weil man sie aus der politischen Diskussion zum Thema kennt, sie als früherer Leiter einer Aufsichtsbehörde in Erinnerung blieben, sie wissenschaftlich das Thema erschließen oder sie sich journalistisch auch auf diesem Gebiet spezialisiert haben. Bei der Fülle des Spektrums der Autoren und deren Themen sei eines vorweggenommen: Sie sind nicht alle einer Meinung und man wird gelegentlich mit Gedanken konfrontiert, denen man sich stellen sollte, weil sie nicht dem allgemeinen Datenschutz-Mainstream-Verständnis (oder gar den eigenen Erwartungen) entsprechen. Die Beiträge wiederholen nicht die Geschichte des Datenschutzes, sondern wollen einen Beitrag liefern für einen Diskurs zwischen rechtlichen Grundlagen, gelebter Realität und Möglichkeiten, wie mit beidem in der Zukunft umgegangen werden kann. Auch wenn die DS-GVO nicht einmal in den Erwägungsgründen den Begriff der informationellen Selbstbestimmung heranzieht, sondern bei ihrer Berechtigungs- und Wertebasis in Erwägungsgrund 1 auf Art. 8 der Charta der Grundrechte der Europäischen Union verweist, sollte die Diskussion über das, was wir von einer informationellen Selbstbestimmung erwarten, nicht beendet werden.

    Abstract
    Falsche Nachrichten sind keine Erscheinung der Neuzeit. Die Feststellung, dass es im Internet Falschinformationen gibt, ist eine Binsenweisheit. In welchem Umfang jedoch Politiker mit falschen Behauptungen Erfolge erreichen und verifizierte Informationen als Fake News misskreditieren, ist besonders im Jahr 2016 in den Blickpunkt der Öffentlichkeit gelangt. Zu Recht, denn die gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen sind gravierend. Die Auseinandersetzung mit derartigen Informationspathologien ist ein Aufgabengebiet der Informationswissenschaften. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit soll die Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage sein, ob sich Manipulationen im Internet durch informationswissenschaftliche Methoden identifizieren lassen. Deshalb werden Falschinformationen zunächst in den informationswissenschaftlichen Kontext gestellt, unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Sichtweisen von Reiner Kuhlen, Luciano Floridi und Don Fallis. Nach einem kurzen Exkurs zu Nachrichten und Medien werden Falschinformationen basierend auf einem Konzept von Giglietto et al. konkreter untersucht. Dazu wird auf die Besonderheiten der Informationsausbreitung im Web 2.0 eingegangen, der Begriff "irreführende Informationen" eingeführt und Faktoren, die für deren Weitergabe relevant sind, benannt. Für die Untersuchung, wie irreführende Informationen weitergegeben werden, steht statt einer akteurorientierten Betrachtung der Aspekt des Prozesses im Mittelpunkt. Dies erfolgt durch die Untersuchung von vier Typologien der Weitergabe irreführender Informationen. Durch das vorgestellte Verbreitungsmodell lassen sich Zusammenhänge und Abläufe bei der Verbreitung von Fake News und anderen irreführenden Informationen besser beschreiben und verstehen als bis zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt.

    Abstract
    Aimed at information and communication professionals, scholars and students, Google and the Digital Divide: The Biases of Online Knowledge provides invaluable insight into the significant role that search engines play in growing the digital divide between individuals, organizations, and states. With a specific focus on Google, author Elad Segev explains the concept of the digital divide and the effects that today's online environment has on knowledge bias, power, and control. Using innovative methods and research approaches, Segev compares the popular search queries in Google and Yahoo in the United States and other countries and analyzes the various biases in Google News and Google Earth. Google and the Digital Divide shows the many ways in which users manipulate Google's information across different countries, as well as dataset and classification systems, economic and political value indexes, specific search indexes, locality of use indexes, and much more. Segev presents important new social and political perspectives to illustrate the challenges brought about by search engines, and explains the resultant political, communicative, commercial, and international implications.

    Abstract
    Die digitale Information - kaum ein Beitrag oder Kommentar ohne diesen Begriff - und oft ohne Sachkenntnis. Der Fachbereich Informationswissenschaften der Fachhochschule Potsdam hat sich dem Thema mit folgenden Fragen genähert: Was bedeutet die Digitale Transformation für die Informationswissenschaft? Wie sieht die Fachcommunity dies? Wie werden diese Überlegungen von der Öffentlichkeit wahrgenommen? Die Beiträge aus Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz vermitteln einen hervorragenden Einstieg in die Diskussion um die vorherrschenden Themen: Der elektronische Lesesaal, Soziale Netzwerke und Ethik, Digital Literacy, Agiles Lernen, Fake News bei Social Media, Digitale Transformation in der Verwaltung - Forderungen an Smart Cities, Open Innovation, Umbrüche in der Verwaltung und der Darstellung der Objekte in Museen u.a. Der Sammelband vermittelt einen Einblick in die Forderungen an die Zukunft und ihre Herausforderungen - nicht nur für Lehrende und Studierende, sondern für alle.

    Abstract
    An argument that information exists at different levels of analysis-syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic-and an exploration of the implications. Although this is the Information Age, there is no universal agreement about what information really is. Different disciplines view information differently; engineers, computer scientists, economists, linguists, and philosophers all take varying and apparently disconnected approaches. In this book, Antonio Badia distinguishes four levels of analysis brought to bear on information: syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and network-based. Badia explains each of these theoretical approaches in turn, discussing, among other topics, theories of Claude Shannon and Andrey Kolomogorov, Fred Dretske's description of information flow, and ideas on receiver impact and informational interactions. Badia argues that all these theories describe the same phenomena from different perspectives, each one narrower than the previous one. The syntactic approach is the more general one, but it fails to specify when information is meaningful to an agent, which is the focus of the semantic and pragmatic approaches. The network-based approach, meanwhile, provides a framework to understand information use among agents. Badia then explores the consequences of understanding information as existing at several levels. Humans live at the semantic and pragmatic level (and at the network level as a society), computers at the syntactic level. This sheds light on some recent issues, including "fake news" (computers cannot tell whether a statement is true or not, because truth is a semantic notion) and "algorithmic bias" (a pragmatic, not syntactic concern). Humans, not computers, the book argues, have the ability to solve these issues.

    Abstract
    Web search engines such as Google, Yahoo! MSN/Bing, and Ask are far from the consummate Web search solution: they do not typically produce direct answers to queries but instead typically recommend a selection of related documents from the Web. We note that in more recent years, search engines have begun to provide direct answers to prose queries matching certain common templates-for example, "population of china" or "12 euro in dollars"-but again, such functionality is limited to a small subset of popular user queries. Furthermore, search engines now provide individual and focused search interfaces over images, videos, locations, news articles, books, research papers, blogs, and real-time social media-although these tools are inarguably powerful, they are limited to their respective domains. In the general case, search engines are not suitable for complex information gathering tasks requiring aggregation from multiple indexed documents: for such tasks, users must manually aggregate tidbits of pertinent information from various pages. In effect, such limitations are predicated on the lack of machine-interpretable structure in HTML-documents, which is often limited to generic markup tags mainly concerned with document renderign and linking. Most of the real content is contained in prose text which is inherently difficult for machines to interpret.

    Abstract
    Information extraction (IE) and text summarization (TS) are powerful technologies for finding relevant pieces of information in text and presenting them to the user in condensed form. The ongoing information explosion makes IE and TS critical for successful functioning within the information society. These technologies face particular challenges due to the inherent multi-source nature of the information explosion. The technologies must now handle not isolated texts or individual narratives, but rather large-scale repositories and streams---in general, in multiple languages---containing a multiplicity of perspectives, opinions, or commentaries on particular topics, entities or events. There is thus a need to adapt existing techniques and develop new ones to deal with these challenges. This volume contains a selection of papers that present a variety of methodologies for content identification and extraction, as well as for content fusion and regeneration. The chapters cover various aspects of the challenges, depending on the nature of the information sought---names vs. events,--- and the nature of the sources---news streams vs. image captions vs. scientific research papers, etc. This volume aims to offer a broad and representative sample of studies from this very active research field.

    Abstract
    The social dynamics of alternative facts: why what you believe depends on who you know. Why should we care about having true beliefs? And why do demonstrably false beliefs persist and spread despite bad, even fatal, consequences for the people who hold them? Philosophers of science Cailin OConnor and James Weatherall argue that social factors, rather than individual psychology, are whats essential to understanding the spread and persistence of false beliefs. It might seem that theres an obvious reason that true beliefs matter: false beliefs will hurt you. But if thats right, then why is it (apparently) irrelevant to many people whether they believe true things or not? The Misinformation Age, written for a political era riven by fake news, alternative facts, and disputes over the validity of everything from climate change to the size of inauguration crowds, shows convincingly that what you believe depends on who you know. If social forces explain the persistence of false belief, we must understand how those forces work in order to fight misinformation effectively.

    Abstract
    When "metadata" became breaking news, appearing in stories about surveillance by the National Security Agency, many members of the public encountered this once-obscure term from information science for the first time. Should people be reassured that the NSA was "only" collecting metadata about phone calls -- information about the caller, the recipient, the time, the duration, the location -- and not recordings of the conversations themselves? Or does phone call metadata reveal more than it seems? In this book, Jeffrey Pomerantz offers an accessible and concise introduction to metadata. In the era of ubiquitous computing, metadata has become infrastructural, like the electrical grid or the highway system. We interact with it or generate it every day. It is not, Pomerantz tell us, just "data about data." It is a means by which the complexity of an object is represented in a simpler form. For example, the title, the author, and the cover art are metadata about a book. When metadata does its job well, it fades into the background; everyone (except perhaps the NSA) takes it for granted. Pomerantz explains what metadata is, and why it exists. He distinguishes among different types of metadata -- descriptive, administrative, structural, preservation, and use -- and examines different users and uses of each type. He discusses the technologies that make modern metadata possible, and he speculates about metadata's future. By the end of the book, readers will see metadata everywhere. Because, Pomerantz warns us, it's metadata's world, and we are just living in it.

    Abstract
    Fake News, Halbwahrheiten, Konspirationstheorien die Ausbreitung von Desinformation in der digitalisierten Welt, insbesondere in sozialen Netzwerken wie Facebook und Twitter, wird immer mehr zur Bedrohung und zur Herausforderung für unsere Demokratie. Das Buch analysiert, welche Trends die Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie in eine Desinformationsökonomie verwandeln. Stichworte sind der langfristige Glaubwürdigkeitsverlust der traditionellen Medien, das rapide Wachstum und die Professionalisierung der Public Relations, die ungeplanten Folgen der rasanten Digitalisierung, darunter das Fehlen eines Geschäftsmodells für den Journalismus, Echokammern im Netz sowie die Algorithmen als neue Schleusenwärter in der öffentlichen Kommunikation. Eine strategische Rolle spielen die allmächtigen IT-Giganten, die sich nicht in ihre Karten gucken lassen möchten. Unter diesen Bedingungen gibt es vermehrt Akteure, die aus machtpolitischen Motiven an medialer Desinformation und an der Destabilisierung unserer Demokratie interessiert sind, oder die aus kommerziellen Motiven eine solche Destabilisierung in Kauf nehmen. Der Tradition der Aufklärung verpflichtet, ist die zentrale Frage des Buches, wie sich der wachsende Einfluss der Feinde der informierten Gesellschaft eindämmen lässt, darunter Populisten, Autokraten und deren Propagandatrupps. Könnte zum Beispiel eine Allianz für die Aufklärung etwas bewirken, der sich seriöse Journalisten und Wissenschaftler gemeinsam anschließen? Dazu bedarf es nicht zuletzt realistischer Selbsteinschätzung aufseiten der Akteure. Dazu verhelfen Erkenntnisse aus der Sozialpsychologie und der Verhaltensökonomie, die im Buch auf die Handelnden und den Prozess der öffentlichen Kommunikation bezogen werden.
