The Information Systems discipline is 40 years old, in Australia, as in Scandinavia, the U.S.A., the U.K. and Germany. This paper presents what may be the first formally published attempt at a history of the discipline in this country. It identifies the precursors to the discipline, and its emergence in colleges and universities. It identifies institutions and individuals who were present at the birth, and traces key steps in organisational and political history. More controversially, it provides interpretations of the nature of the discipline and its key intellectual themes, and identifies threats to its survival.

This book is intended as a set of essays examining the value of the recent works of Michel Foucault for social theory and social history. Foucault's works written since 1968 (Discipline and Punish, The History of Sexuality and numerous shorter pieces) contain some important advances in social theory and in the writing of social history. My purpose is to separate out those advances from other features of Foucault's thought which I find less beneficial. I am not attempting to give an assessment of Foucault's work as a whole but to focus on and analyze certain features of it.

A series of advertisements (ads) dealing with the UN's declaration of human rights was placed in the newspapers of Salonica, Greece, in 1952 by the US Information Agency. The effects of this advertising campaign were measured by means of interviews before & after with a panel of R's representing a cross-section of the city's pop. In addition, interviews were conducted after the campaign with a parallel cross-section in the test city & similar interviews both before & after in a control city where the ads did not appear. The evidence supports the theory of self-selection in exposure to a communication: people whose views on the subject were already favorable were most apt to read the ads. However, regardless of prior opinion or awareness, exposure to the campaign resulted in a noticeable increase in information on the subject. The campaign seems to have confirmed already favorable opinion by providing supporting arguments for people whose att's were already formed. AA.

Περιέχει το πλήρες κείμενο ; The topic of this article is a reinterpretation of the establishment of the Mongolian Empire from an information history point of view. At the beginning of the 13th century Genghis Khan united the nomadic Mongolian tribes and established the largest inland empire, never before seen in history. The borders of the new state reached from China in the East and the Carpathians in the West. Research over the past 200 years based the success of this vast empire on many reasons including the nomadic military organization as well as the favorable political situation of that time. In the following I will demonstrate the fact that the role of information and disinformation in this subject was utmost importance.
