Punch Line: And, I did accomplish it (albiet, not in solitude and loneliness; rather it was done in a synchronous mode, with a real-time zeal to capture and catalog all the relevant sources in cyberspace).

A book that I enjoy is: Knowledge & Flow of Information, by DRETSKE. Blackwell Publishers (1981)
"An attempt to develop a theory of knowledge and a philosophy of mind using ideas derived from the mathematical theory of communication developed by Claude Shannon. Information is seen as an objective commodity defined by the dependency relations between distinct events. Knowledge is then analyzed as information caused belief. Perception is the delivery of information caused belief. Perception is the delivery of information in analog form (experience) for conceptual utilization by cognitive mechanisms. The final chapters attempt to develop a theory of meaning (or belief content) by viewing meaning as a certain kind of information-carrying role. "
