1 Hughes, D Laurie
Success and failure of IS/IT projects : a state of the
art analysis and future directions / D Laurie Hughes and
others.-- Heidelberg: Springer, 2016.
xiv, 89p. , 24cm.
ISBN : 9783319229997.
004.068 HUG 143861
This book examines the link between change and project
management and how creating a closer alignment between
these two methodologies can yield greater benefits and
mitigate elements of failure of information systems (IS)
projects. This study explores the underlying challenges
and practicalities of closer integration of the two
disciplines and asserts that such a successful change
goes beyond the simple training of project managers in
the practitioner context. This book offers a guide that
identifies the barriers and major challenges that may
arise in the development of the closer integration of
change and project management.

2 Wallace, Patricia
The Internet in the workplace : how new technology is
transforming work / Patricia Wallace.-- New York:
Cambridge University Press, 2014.
xiii, 301p. , 23cm.
ISBN : 9781107460119.
004.678068 WAL 143836
The capabilities offered by netcentric technologies might
seem to eliminate the need for physical workplace
altogether, but the workplace remains, partly because the
virtual, and in fact, the physical appearance of a
typical office looks about the same. Nevertheless, the
psychological characteristics of the workplace have
changed considerably. Workers, from the mail room clerk
to the CEO, are learning new skills - to capitalize on
the net-s power, but avoid the egregious blunders that
the net so dramatically amplifies. In this book, the
author shows how netcentric technologies touch every kind
of workplace, and explores the challenges and dilemmas
they create.

3 Huvila, Isto
Information services and digital literacy : in search of
the boundaries of knowing / Isto Huvila.-- New Delhi:
Chandos Publishing, 2012.
vii, 191p. , 23cm.
(Chandos information professional series).
ISBN : 9781843346838.
025.4071 HUV 143811
Despite new technologies, people do not always find
information readily. This book is about the role of
information services and digital literacies in the age of
the social web. Do people still need help in finding the
information they need, and if so, why? What can new tools
and techniques make easier? Who needs help, and with
what? The author provides an alternative perspective for
understanding the context of information services and
digital literacy and argues that a central problem in the
age of the social web and the culture of participation is
that we do not know the premises of how we know, and how
ways of interacting with information affect our actions
and their outcomes. Information seeking and finding is
always a question of crossing and expanding boundaries,
between our earlier experiences and the unknown.

4 Bruin, Boudewijn De
Ethics and the global financial crisis : why incompetence
is Worse than Greed / Boudewijn De Bruin.-- United
Kingdom: Cambridge University Press, 2015.
xiv, 228p. , 23cm.
ISBN : 9781107028913.
174.4 BRU 143834
In this book the author examines the ethical -blind
spots- that lay at the hearth of the global financial
crisis. He argues that the most important moral problem
in finance is not the -greed is good- culture, but rather
the epistemic shortcomings of bankers, clients, rating
agencies and regulators. Drawing on insights from
economics, psychology and philosophy, the author develops
a novel theory of epistemic virtue and applies it to
racist and sexist lending practices, subprime mortgages,
CEO hubris, the Madoff scandal, professionalism, in
accountancy and regulatory outsourcing of epistemic
responsibility. With its multidisciplinary reach, this
book will appeal to scholars working in philosophy,
business ethics, economics, psychology and the sociology
of finance.

Book I
ISBN : 9789352013722.
294.544 KUM 143847
In this book the author answers the questions related to

6 Kumar, Gian
Think from the heart love from the mind / Gian Kumar.--
Mumbai: Celestial Books, 2015.
358p. , 18cm.
Book II.
ISBN : 9789352013739.
294.544 KUM 143842
This book is based on the learnings about life and
existence derived from ancient Indian philosophy.
Spiritualism is defined in the East as the science of
higher consciousness and explains Oneness and the
harmonious coexistence of Man with the Universe. These
pages are about understanding the divine within us, how
to live spiritually, moment to moment, and enjoy every
aspect of life without assistance from any external
source. This is where this simple book speaks to us in a
straightforward, down-to-earth manner, revealing there
are no diktats we need to follow- only the voice within.
We notice the change as through constant vigil, the sub-
conscious takes over and we evolve by ourselves - alone,
experientially.
** Spiritual life.
7 Kumar, Gian
The Ultimate reality / Gian Kumar.-- Mumbai: Celestial
Books, 2015.
318p. , 18cm.
Book III.
ISBN : 9789352013746.
294.544 KUM 143843
In this book the author deals with this core reality and
the struggle imbedded in living lives of duality in the
material and technological world. Happiness unhappiness,
goo-bad, God-Devil - all exist as -One-. Despite the
teachings of spiritual gurus and masters, life fails to
give us the much-needed solace. The author delves into a
deeper existence where, through experiential realization,
we are able to go beyond the mind with its dual thoughts,
to a state of higher consciousness.
** Spiritual life--Hinduism.

8 Verma, Vidhu (ed)
Unequal worlds : discrimination and social inequality in
modern India / Vidhu Verma.-- New Delhi: Oxford
University Press, 2015.
vi, 422p. , 22cm.
ISBN : 9780199453283.
303.3720954 VER 143838
This book explores contemporary manifestations of
discrimination that persist in our society through
institutions, and through norms and practices that define
the terms of continued exclusion of certain social
groups. Institutional rules and social interactions make
some people more vulnerable to domination and
exploitation, and they raise fundamental questions of
justice today. The book argues against tendencies to
assume an unquestioned similarity of discriminations that
fail to address the structural level at which
inequalities are promoted.

Proving the maxim that crime follows opportunity,
virtually every advance has been accompanied by a
corresponding niche to be exploited for criminal
purposes: so-called -cybercrimes-. Whether it is fraud,
child pornography, stalking, criminal copyright
infringement or attacks on computers themselves,
criminals will find ways to exploit new technology. The
challenge for all countries is to ensure their criminal
laws keep pace. The challenge is a global one, and much
can be learned from the experience of other jurisdictions
Focusing on Australia, Canada, the UK and USA, this book
provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal principles
that apply to the prosecution of cybercrimes.
