Information resources, services and systems homework

 

In class today you were introduced to the concepts of information resources, information services, and information systems. 

 

Your homework assignment is to think about each of these concepts and locate a “real-world” example.

 

Describe the characteristics of each example that you choose.  For instance, explain why you think the example is an information service, not an information system. 

 

Bring this assignment to class on Tuesday, April 10.  Be prepared to show and describe your examples in class.
