Title:
THE WIKIPEDIA REVOLUTION: A CONVERSATION WITH ANDREW LIH |
| Date:
3/23/2009
- 3/23/2009 |
| In the era of new media, academia has seen its share of change. While the days of carrying heavy text books are not entirely extinct, open source media such as Wikipedia have significantly altered the research methodology used in schools and knowledge institutions. Now, organizations such as the World Bank are looking at such tools in order to disseminate and share its breadth of knowledge with the world. On March 23, 2009, author Andrew Lih visited the World Bank to discuss the release of his new book, “History of Wikipedia.” Joining Lih were Klaus Tilmes, Adviser for the World Bank’s Knowledge Strategy Group, Mike Trucano, Senior ICT Policy Specialist for the World Bank, and Manny Jimenez, Director for the World Bank’s East Asia Pacific Human Development Sector Department.
