Abstract
A new concept, viz., the information culture of a megalopolis, is introduced into academic discourse. This concept is analyzed through the lens of modern scientific theories and specific social practices.
Hazel’s comment:
This must be one of the shortest abstracts I have ever published via this blog. The reason I’ve included it when normally I wouldn't bother with something that imparts so little information is the use of a word of which I had previously never heard. Megalopolis is a massive city, or a merging of cities as in the area of the USA known as BosWash (Boston joined to Washington). What I fail to understand is why the authors thought that the information culture of a mega city would be much different from a non-mega city. Perhaps if your institution has access to this journal you could glance at the article and let the rest of us update our knowledge.
