Reading the book review by Lisa Spiro of the book Scholarship in the Digital Age: Information, Infrastructure and the Internet by Christine L. Borgman. Spiro begins by sharing what the book is about and how it makes sense of the digital transformation that is occurring within research and communication by examine the key components used. She goes on to provide a brief breakdown of the chapters and what each one consists of by providing a brief breakdown of the content of each chapter. The book itself appears rather comprehensive as it cover s everything from the technical dimensions  through to how the scholarly infrastructure should be built with everything in-between including copyright policies to data collection. There is a look at how scholars collaborate and how and why they do or do not. there is a balanced view of scholarship within a digital format. It is mentioned the strength of the book is also the weakness that being the broad scope it takes on. There is not much information in the book about blogging as a form of communication within a scholarly field. Overall I would say that the book does sound like a fairly good reference tool for the scholar in todays digital society. Although the book may be lacking in some areas it may provide information for others. The digital age is ever changing and by the time a book gets published some of the material may be already out of date. Although there are contributions that change at a much slower rate then say the technology, I believe the book can have some value as a reference book, but one has to look at it closely to determine the extent of it, this was written in 2009 and we are already six years farther ahead in technology. Technology changes at a faster pace then we can write and publish it, unless of course it is published online, but again it still may be too little too late in the ever changing digital world.
