Subject: [BOAI] A new knowledge network


[Forwarding from Malgorzata Stergios.  --Peter Suber.]

 
A new knowledge network devoted to the changing role of information in scholarly research, higher education and business practice.
 
Knowledge & Library Services at Harvard Business School and the Library at Copenhagen Business School are launching an international network of professionals interested in understanding the changing role of information (both tacit and explicit)- its creation, management, dissemination and use- in scholarly research, higher education and business practice. The primary goal of the network is to identify and discuss important emerging trends in a forum composed of subject matter experts from a variety of disciplines.  
 
The network is called the "Global Knowledge Exchange Network" (GKEN). Its members will select areas of interest and form groups to address them. As a start, we have proposed four areas:  Scholarly Communications and Open Access, Research Metrics, Cyberinfrastructure and Information Behavior. Each group is expected to identify developing trends within its subject, discuss them among its members, write trend briefings and, finally, predict the likelihood of the trends using prediction markets. Given the interaction, we expect that each member will gain and create significant new knowledge. 
 
If you are interested in participating, please email Gosia Stergios (Harvard Business School) at mstergios at hbs.edu . 
The other network founders and administrators include Mary Lee Kennedy (Harvard Business School), René Steffensen (Copenhagen Business School) and Leif Hansen (Copenhagen Business School).
