Knowledge Sharing through Collaboration in Development Studies: the Focuss.Info Initiative
Richard Lalleman, Michel G. Wesseling · Information Development · 2008
This paper introduces a new research tool within the international field of development cooperation and studies: the Focuss.Info initiative. Focuss.Info facilitates a content specific search engine. This search engine indexes the favourite websites of partners in the initiative and individual contributors who are tagging their websites on a social bookmark platform. In this way, the field of global studies facilitates a valuable research tool in which institutions from all over the world collaborate and share their `knowledge of websites' with each other.
