Description: Wikipedia : A New Community of Practice?, Hardcover by O'Sullivan, Dan, ISBN 0754674339, ISBN-13 9780754674337, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US According to Wikipedia, Great Ayton--where historian O'Sullivan resides--is a village in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire on the edge of the North York Moors in England. In a socio-historical analysis of this highly successful online encyclopedia, he applies group theory to compare and contrast it to mass communication projects of the past: from the ancient library of Alexandria to the making of the Oxford English Dictionary. Weighing the competitive, individualistic nature of present-day culture against converging cultural production, he discusses Wikepedia's aims, community, structure, costs, relationship to the public, and the nature of knowledge. Lastly, he makes suggestions for browsing, assessing, and contributing to Wikipedia content. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
