Abstract

In Andrew Weiss’ book <em>Big Data Shocks: An Introduction to Big Data for Librarians and Information Professionals</em>, the author skillfully explores the intersections between libraries and big data by examining how this powerful technology is transforming and impacting (shocking) the world of libraries and information. The book is timely, given the intensity of the ongoing debates focused around campaigns of misinformation (Facebook and Google are two examples) coupled with the erosions of individual privacy that have been enabled by the use of big data technologies.
