The emotional compound of information and its volume estimation by M. Yu. Sverdlov

“…The obtained results are the following: a relative share of the pragmatic component promptly decreases at the background of rapid growth of digital information amount; the emotional component of information messages and flows is the most significant while measuring their amount and quality; it is offered to estimate the degree of the information resource emotional efficiency by means of an aggregative dimensionless indicator; saturation of information messages and flows with an emotional component should determine further tendencies of upgrading the information space, including library resources.…”
