Information: Getting, Protecting and Using Data

Information technology research is about finding information more quickly, easily and accurately; securing information; and making information manageable and understandable.

The Information bundle includes a brief tour of recent developments that makes connections among key issues. It also includes the text of 11 in-depth TRN stories about key information technology research projects, and three related images.

The bundle is organized into three major categories: access and retrieval, security, and processing and presentation. Story subjects include hiding information in printed pictures, database software that heals itself, and various methods of improving Web searches.
