While the contributions made by information scientists to tackling the explosion of electronic communications are both widespread and valuable much still needs to be done, particularly as the individual user of information is not only overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of information, but is increasingly subject to the posting of misinformation and even disinformation. At the same time, while the advantages of information technology are apparent there may be a danger that people will become increasingly prone to overuse, and even misuse it leading to a number of human problems. It is proposed that information scientists could take a more proactive role in tackling some of the problems caused by information overload.
