esearchUser Contributed Content
• Members willing to contribute/share– where they see benefit (recognition)
– when it is easy (UI)
– when ‘encouraged’
• Quality control no issue - quantity is
• Almost no spam or ‘misbehaviour’
• Controversial content encourages debate
• Activity needs to be encouraged

esearchSense of Community
• Very wide and diverse field, makes common goal on a-h.net hard to define
• Closer sense of community among members of centres and with specific communities of practice
• Concern about own reputationand (visual) identity
• Individual members not visible enough
• Community does not ‘happen by itself’
