Security and Software for Cybercafes
A book edited by Dr. Esharenana E. Adomi, Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria
Introduction
Cybercafes, which are places where Internet access is provided for a fee, provide the opportunity for people without access to the Internet, or who are traveling, to access web mail and instant messages, read newspapers and explore other resources of the Net. Due to the important role Internet cafes play in facilitating access to information, there is a need for their systems to have well-installed software in order to ensure smooth service delivery. A good understanding of security measures and software requirements is a sine qua non for efficient management of cybercafes.
The Overall Objective of the Book
In the field of information science, technology and management, there is dire need for an edited collection of articles in this area. The intent of the book is to provide relevant theoretical frameworks and current empirical research findings in the area. The book will be aimed toward professionals, scholars, researchers and teachers of information technology who want to improve their knowledge and understanding of security management and software requirements of cybercafes, both in industrialized and developing countries.
The Target Audience
The audience of the book will consist of professionals, scholars and researchers working in the field of information science, education, technology and management, as well as related disciplines. The text is also intended for all library and information sciences users. The book will particularly provide those working in cybercafes/cybercafe operators with insight into how to control the risks related to cybercafe networks.
