Title

¬The strength of weak ties in electronic development of the scholarly communication system

Source

College and research libraries. 55(1994) no.6, S.529-540

Year

1994

Abstract

Considers ways in which the knowledgeable use of the Internet could develop in academic institutions for various research fields and then diffuse across the loosely coupled scholarly communication system. Considers ways in which the scholarly system may become Balkanized into autonomous, even antagonistic, cultures or camps based on differing technological competencies and interests. Describes 3 overlapping models of innovation (new technology) diffusion in relation to the Internet: individual threshols, critical mass, and the stregth of weak ties. Draws 2 contrasting scenarios of a Balkanized system: separate tables and braking mechanisms. Discusses the prospective role of academic librarians in electronic development of the scholarly system and presents a note on future research
