Encyclopedic knowledge in the mobile age

Posted on December 5, 2008 by | Leave a comment

Encyclopedic knowledge in the mobile age is a chapter from a book M-libraries: libraries on the move to provide virtual access. The paper is authored by Agnes Kukulska-Hulme. (Thanks to Open Research Online) Abstract:

New manifestations of encyclopedias on the web attest to the enduring appeal of gathering together and disseminating what is known about a broad range of topics. At the same time, the scale and nature of knowledge sharing on the web differs in many respects from traditional formats. The proliferation of portable and pervasive technologies is introducing further changes that we are only beginning to understand.
