Abstract
Over the past few years the topic of information and knowledge sharing has received considerable attention in the information science, information systems and management communities. Built on Social Constructivism, Public Goods Theory of Collective Action and the Nonaka's Sequential Model for Organizational Knowledge, I argue that the presentation of structured information about user experiences combined with existing information objects will increase the effectiveness of information objects in a digital library while at the same time preserving communal knowledge. This research challenges the research community to understand what, if any is the relationship between the socialization of digital objects through shared experiences and the information experience of digital library patrons? Using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative techniques, I will demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed cyclic processes by which the intellectual efforts and understanding of multiple library patrons lead to the valuable accumulations of new knowledge. The value of this research is that it can advance current digital library research and practice to a more complete theory of community memory, as well as provide the social and organizational insights necessary to construct richer and more engaging digital library systems. Additionally, this proposed research covers many unexplored issues in digital library research such as value-driven use, trust and ethical dimensions of information sharing.
