These are not found to be incommensurable, but can be used as building blocks for an integrative framework. Ambiguous conceptualisations are frequent. Different conceptualisations tend to emphasize different aspects of information sharing activities: that which is shared; those who are sharing; and the location in which the sharing activities take place. The commonalities of the people involved in information sharing activities are often seen as a ground for the development of information sharing practices.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings provide a guide for future research which intends to explore activities of information sharing.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The article offers a systematic review of recent LIS literature on information sharing, and extends the theoretical base for information sharing research.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/00220411211239110","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,15]],"date-time":"2012-07-15T19:30:05Z","timestamp":1342380605000},"page":"559-581","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["LIS research on information sharing activities \u2013 people, places, or information"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"68","author":[{"given":"Ola","family":"Pilerot","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022020520103893100_b2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Buckland, M.
