The Impact of Social Networking and Crowdsourcing on Research, the Enterprise, and the Workforce

October 4-5, 2011

Social media have found application at all points of the research lifecycle.  While both powerful and exciting, the rapid adoption of a myriad set of online tools also poses questions for research and the enterprise more broadly.  With this meeting, GUIRR members examined the “yin and yang” of social networking.
