One of the most interesting thing in the field of information sciences is when you publish an interesting article that attracts people who then read it and appreciate you work. We have read many books written by different authors and this is after it has been published by certain companies.
There is another category of information called information technology that deals with establishment of website which enables people to seek information from well established and maintained websites.
