The Unfolding Of The Knowledge Commons, Charlotte Hess May 2012

The Unfolding Of The Knowledge Commons, Charlotte Hess

Libraries' and Librarians' Publications

This piece reports on some of the significant research and activities within the knowledge commons arena since the publication of Charlotte Hess and Elinor Ostrom’s co-edited book Understanding Knowledge as a Commons in 2007. Hess uses this overview to identify major lacunae in the study of the knowledge commons.
