Dr. Robert D. Sprague, assistant professor of business administration at Eastern New Mexico University, has authored a chapter which has been accepted for publication in a forthcoming book.

The book is titled The Social, Ethical and Policy Implications of Information Systems. It will be used as a textbook and a management book.

The chapter Dr. Sprague wrote is titled "Liability for System and Data Quality." The book is edited by professors from Mercer University in Georgia and is a collection of materials from different authors.

Dr. Sprague's chapter was published after the editors put out a request for submissions. "I submitted a chapter in an area I specialize in. After review, it was selected," he explained.

Although this is his first book chapter, Dr. Sprague has been published over two dozen times.
