" Service Science and the Information Professional "demonstrates why a new trans-disciplinary field that touches on computer science, engineering, management, business, and the social and cognitive sciences is relevant. The text illustrates that the transition to a service and information-based economy will require libraries to deal with both information and services. As information technology, customer service, service innovation, and management of services are embedded in the study of information science, the text shows how service science can be of great benefit to libraries, with information service outlets a tremendous field of research for this new field of study. Describes service science and its increasing relevance as a disciplineExplains why information professionals need to know more about this emerging fieldShows the value of research, and the importance of participating in this field, As we transition to a service and information-based economy, information specialists are projected onto the leading edge of an emerging science." Service Science and theInformation Professional" demonstrates how the power of this new transdisciplinary field can inform and transform the current information professional world. Service Science is about people, technology, information, and organizations. Service Science can be of great benefit to Information Centres everywhere, and Information Service outlets can be a tremendous field of research for this new science. iSchools and Schools of Information Studies can join Computer Science, Engineering and Business Schools in receiving research grants for the development of Service Science. Information professionals need to know this new discipline and be inspired to participate in it.

It has emerged as we transition to a service and information based economy, libraries will deal with both information and services. Information technology, customer service, service innovation and management of services are imbedded in the study of information science, yet grants for the development of service science appear to be going to computer science and engineering schools. Research in service science can be of great benefit to libraries, and information service outlets can be a tremendous field of research for this new science. Information professionals need to be informed of this new discipline and inspired to participate in it.
