We are living in the era of digital transformation. Computers are rapidly becoming the most important tool for companies, science, society, and indeed our everyday life. We all need a basic understanding of Computer Science to make sense of the world, to make decisions, and to improve our lives. Yet there are many misunderstandings about Computer Science. The reason is that it is a nascent discipline that has evolved rapidly and had to reinvent itself several times over the last 100 years - from the beginnings of scientific computing to the modern era of smartphones and the cloud. This book gives an intuitive introduction to the foundations and main concepts of Computer Science. It describes the basic ideas of solving problems with algorithms, modern data-driven approaches, and artificial intelligence (AI). It also provides many examples that require no background in technology. This book is directed toward teenagers who may wonder whether they should major in Computer Science, though it will also appeal to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the art of Computer Science and modern information technology. Of course, not everyone must become a computer expert, but everyone should take advantage of and understand the innovations and advances of modern technology.

"This volume presents international research and exhaustive reviews of literature on a range of issues related to the evolving digital environment. Topics addressed include the educational impact of the digital environment on LIS education curricula and delivery mechanisms, and information representation and learning in videogames. Issues surrounding the improvement of library catalogues by emulating Web based search engines, and the extent to which collaborative information seeking is/is not enabled by existing search engines and tools are explored. This volume also presents research on social semantic corporate digital libraries, the use of E-texts in research projects in the humanities, and information access in e-government environments. With the growing trend for digital-only access to information, this volume of Advances in Librarianship makes an important contribution in both highlighting problems and challenges, and pointing to pathways for future solutions. The Advances in Librarianship book series covers current research and professional issues in libraries, the information industry, education and development of information professionals. The series is a key resource for practitioners, researchers, students and faculty members seeking in-depth literature and solutions to current and emerging issues in library and information science and related fields."
