The rapid growth in social media such as Flickr, YouTube, Wikipedia, and Second Life requires a reworking of archival practice and theory. Historians, educators, genealogists and students all contribute to this collection of analytical essays followed by relevant case studies. The volume is potentially useful for both educators and students and contains some relevant case studies for practitioners. The editor, Theimer (Archives and Records Management, U. of Dundee), also maintains a blog called ArchivesNext. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
