"This book examines the vital role that social software applications play in regards to the cultural definitions by experts and challenges the reader to consider how recent changes in this area influence how we create and distribute knowledge"--
Contributors from a wide range of disciplines look at how digital technologies have changed the production, dissemination, and definition of knowledge, and where this might lead to. They cover expertise and the changing nature of knowledge creation and dissemination in the web 2.0 environment, changing expert environments in the university and in the areas of research and scholarship, reimagining pedagogical expertise, and case studies of collective or decentralized expertise. Among the topics are Wikipedia's success and the rise of the amateur expert, Google scholar as the co-producer of scholarly knowledge, teaching political science students to find and evaluate information in the social media flow, faculty and undergraduate perceptions of expertise within social media, and interaction and expertise in an Appalachian music archive.
