Death is an inevitable part of life and highly relevant to information management: its approach often requires preparation, and its occurrence often demands a response. Many works in information science have acknowledged so much, and yet death is rarely a focused topic, appearing instead sporadically and disconnected across research. As a result there is no introduction to, overview of, or synthesis across studies on death and information. We therefore conducted an extensive literature search and reviewed nearly 300 scholarly publications at the intersection of death and information (and data) management. Covering seven topics in total, we review two groups of work directly engaging information management in relation to death (digital possessions, inheritance, and legacy; information behavior, needs, and practices around death), three engaging death and technology that require information and its management (death and the Internet, thanatosensitive design and technology‐augmented death practices, and the digital afterlife and digital immortality), and two reflecting the ethical and legal dimensions unique to death and information. We then integrate the collective findings to summarize the landscape of death‐related information research, outline remaining challenges for individuals, families, institutions, and society, and identify promising directions for future information science research.

This Article explores terms and conditions (T&Cs) for virtual worlds through the lens of user perspectives. The original, qualitative empirical research via 22 semi-structured interviews and 124 survey responses explores topics including digital terms and conditions, copyright and creativity, loot boxes, and online cultures. This first Article based on this data examines users’ understanding, motivation, and compliance with T&Cs in a persistent online community. Although it is well established that users largely do not read online T&Cs prior to acceptance, complex online social spaces, such as Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOs), necessitate equally complex legal and technological dynamics. These virtual worlds can be difficult to infiltrate and analyse without active participation and a deeper understanding of the social mores and technical tools of the specific space. Therefore, obtaining valuable data from users in this context is a rare resource for law and industry. This Article and the following series provide some insight into user understanding of the law in these areas.
