Rising tide of digital technologies redirects the scholarly infrastructure.(Book review)
Byline: Tracey Caldwell
Rising tide of digital technologies redirects the scholarly infrastructure
' book review
The internet and associated digital technologies have revolutionised the options for distributed and collaborative research.
As the practices of scholarship are reshaped by technology, author Christine Borgman analyses the underlying social and policy changes in this book.
This study starts from the premise that scholarship is at a crossroads as the next generation of scholarly infrastructure begins to be developed. The technologies and terminology of the emerging infrastructure are discussed, and current national and international initiatives on that infrastructure outlined.
This provides a solid foundation for a discussion of less tangible aspects: the invisible assumptions underpinning theory and policy frameworks, the nature of information flowing through the technical infrastructure, and the drivers building this content layer.
