Can Web 2.0 enhance community participation in an institutional repository? The case of pocketknowledge at teachers college, Columbia University

Abstract

This project investigates if a Web 2.0 approach to designing an institutional repository can positively impact community participation. To study this, two institutional repositories (one Web 2.0, the other not) are used within the same institution. Results indicate that the use of a Web 2.0 approach significantly enhances community participation. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
