RESEARCH OUTSIDE THE ACADEMY GEBUNDEN

This book analyses the practical  information-related dimensions of professional knowledge
making and communication in extra-academic organisations. It treats the sites where research
takes place and where knowledge is created outside academia in the light  among other things 
of new digital resources. It provides valuable insight into the practices through which
extra-academic research data and results are produced and made available and the settings in
which this takes place. With case studies of knowledge-making in government organizations and
state research institutes  as well as in cultural and heritage institutions  this book broadens
the perspective on knowledge sharing  communication and publication  and how knowing changes as
a result of the professional knowledge-making practices in the digital age.Research outside the
Academy is ideal for students at all levels looking for an introduction to the topic of
research and knowledge-making in society. Moreover  researchers and professionals in the fields
of library and information science and science and technology studies will find the book to be
adding to previous understandings of scholarly documentation and communication.
