Abstract

Scholars in all fields now have access to an unprecedented wealth of online information, tools, and services. The Internet lies at the core of an information infrastructure for distributed, data-intensive, and collaborative research. Although much attention has been paid to the new technologies making this possible, from digitized books to sensor networks, it is the underlying social and policy changes that will have the most lasting effect on the scholarly enterprise. In Scholarship in the Digital Age, Christine Borgman explores the technical, social, legal, and economic aspects of the kind of infrastructure that we should be building for scholarly research in the twenty-first century.

Abstract

Scholars in all fields now have access to an unprecedented wealth of online information, tools, and services. The Internet lies at the core of an information infrastructure for distributed, data-intensive, and collaborative research. Although much attention has been paid to the new technologies making this possible, from digitized books to sensor networks, it is the underlying social and policy changes that will have the most lasting effect on the scholarly enterprise. In Scholarship in the Digital Age, Christine Borgman explores the technical, social, legal, and economic aspects of the kind of infrastructure that we should be building for scholarly research in the twenty-first century. Borgman describes the roles that information technology plays at every stage in the life cycle of a research project and contrasts these new capabilities with the relatively stable system of scholarly communication, which remains based on publishing in journals, books, and conference proceedings. No framework for the impending "data deluge" exists comparable to that for publishing. Analyzing scholarly practices in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities, Borgman compares each discipline's approach to infrastructure issues. In the process, she challenges the many stakeholders in the scholarly infrastructure--scholars, publishers, libraries, funding agencies, and others--to look beyond their own domains to address the interaction of technical, legal, economic, social, political, and disciplinary concerns. Scholarship in the Digital Age will provoke a stimulating conversation among all who depend on a rich and robust scholarly environment. Christine L. Borgman is Professor and Presidential Chair in Information Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. She is the author of From Gutenberg to the Global Information Infrastructure: Access to Information in the Networked World (MIT Press, 2000).

Abstract

Puisant ses analyses et ses exemples dans des champs scientifiques variés, cet ouvrage (dont l’original est paru en 2015 chez MIT Press) offre une étude inédite des utilisations des données au sein des infrastructures de la connaissance – utilisations qui varient largement d’une discipline à l’autre. Bien que le big data ait régulièrement les honneurs de la presse des deux côtés de l’Atlantique, Christine L. Borgman met en évidence qu’il vaut mieux disposer des bonnes données qu’en avoir beaucoup. Elle montre également que les little data peuvent s’avérer aussi précieuses que les big data, et, que, dans bien des cas, il n’y a aucune donnée, parce que les informations pertinentes n’existent pas, sont introuvables ou sont indisponibles… Au travers d’études de cas pratiques issus d’horizons divers, Christine L. Borgman met aussi en lumière que les données n’ont ni valeur ni signification isolément : elles s’inscrivent au sein d’une infrastructure de la connaissance, c’est-à-dire d’un écosystème de personnes, de pratiques, de technologies, d’institutions, d’objets matériels et de relations. Pour l’autrice, gérer les données et les exploiter sur le long terme requiert ainsi des investissements massifs dans ces infrastructures de la connaissance. L’avenir de la recherche, dans un monde en réseau, en dépend.

Abstract

An exploration of the technical, social, legal, and economic aspects of the scholarly infrastructure needed to support research activities in all fields in the twenty-first century. Scholars in all fields now have access to an unprecedented wealth of online information, tools, and services. The Internet lies at the core of an information infrastructure for distributed, data-intensive, and collaborative research. Although much attention has been paid to the new technologies making this possible, from digitized books to sensor networks, it is the underlying social and policy changes that will have the most lasting effect on the scholarly enterprise. In Scholarship in the Digital Age, Christine Borgman explores the technical, social, legal, and economic aspects of the kind of infrastructure that we should be building for scholarly research in the twenty-first century. Borgman describes the roles that information technology plays at every stage in the life cycle of a research project and contrasts these new capabilities with the relatively stable system of scholarly communication, which remains based on publishing in journals, books, and conference proceedings. No framework for the impending “data deluge” exists comparable to that for publishing.

Abstract

The theme of this conference - Information Implications into the Eighties - has brought forth papers on a wide variety of topics, but all point to the inescapable conclusion of an explosion of information management problems and opportunities. Movement is occurring in many directions - toward large networks and simultaneously toward personal systems. The Eighties will bring challenges to long-held ideas such as how the modern office does its paperwork (or whether it should use paper at all). These and other problems will provide exciting opportunities for real progress.ACM-SIGIR scheduled this conference in conjunction with the meeting September 28 and 29, 1979, of the Texas Chapter of the American Society for Information Science entitled, "Microcomputers and Information Processing." The Panel Discussion, "Information Implications into the Eighties," was sponsored by both organizations and served as the closing session of the ACM-SIGIR conference and the opening session of the Texas ASIS conference.
