Abstract: AbstractIn a world that is increasingly focused on knowledge work, there is a need to understand how information and knowledge are created, retained, and shared in organizations. Research into information sharing, incorporating theories of social interaction, creates a comprehensive framework for studying information sharing. This article reports the findings from the first stage of a longitudinal case study designed to capture the information sharing practices in a new work environment for life science researchers. Data reported in this article sets a benchmark for future measurement of collaboration and information sharing in the context of an interdisciplinary life sciences center and furthers the research about the connection between information sharing and knowledge exchange/sharing.
