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. 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent roadmap for the next decade
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2009
Verified Purchase
I have spent the last dozen years working to put scholarly journals online, and thought that I was nearly done. Christine Borgman's book raises the questions that, I expect, will define the next dozen years of my career.

3.0 out of 5 stars Circles around its thesis
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2009
Verified Purchase
This is a book that defines a central problem of information science: Ensuring that scholarly data is accessible and preserved. Right now, Borgman argues, we're failing on both counts. Not that she would make such a broad statement in this detailed treatise, which gives a broad overview of its subject but fails to illuminate it with any kind of narrative. The book is full of lines like this: "Efforts to 'database the world' of science are creating large repositories in some fields." The book would benefit tremendously if she would go into depth with one particular repository, to give the reader something concrete to grab a hold of rather than stating abstract facts over and over.

Borgman makes a compelling case that we have a problem; now we need someone to tell us how to solve it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dry speculation
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2010
This book was a disappointment. It just goes around in circles, either stating what it should go on or how things are in their infancy with a promise to change in the next decades. In the end this is not a guide, but just a speculation and a couple of diagrams. 20 years from now this book might be called "with a vision" or just be forgotten, but unless you like dry scholar analysis steer away from this one.
