It is shown that the standard expression for the information entropy,\noriginally due to Shannon, is only valid for a particular set of states. For\nthe general case of statistical mechanics, one needs to include an additional\nterm in the expression for the entropy as a function of the probability. A\nsimple derivation of the general formula is given.\n
