A useful discussion by Henry Jenkinds to extrapolate from Jenkins' Civic Engagement to the notion of Digital Scholarship

this discussion by MIT's Henry Jenkins is a fabulous overview of the role Social Media played in the 2008 Presidential Campaign (and, by extrapolation) and how these technologies are shaping cultural and personal time. Very good!

Borgman's great book!

One should not think of analogy-making as a special variety of reasoning (as in the dull and uninspiring phrase "analogical reasoning and problem-solving," a long-standing cliché in the cognitive-science world), for that is to do analogy a terrible disservice. After all, reasoning and problem-solving have (at least I dearly hope!) been at long last recognized as lying far indeed from the core of human thought. If analogy were merely a special variety of something that in itself lies way out on the peripheries, then it would be but an itty-bitty blip in the broad blue sky of cognition. To me, however, analogy is anything but a bitty blip - rather, it's the very blue that fills the whole sky of cognition - analogy is everything, or very nearly so, in my view.
