Abstract

This paper reports on the design, adoption, and continued use of the SISA News software. The software draws ideas from news syndication, the community of practice concept, ‘leaky knowledge in organizations, and microservice architectures. It provides a news flow for the Swedish information systems community through RSS, Facebook, and the web. The news flow aggregates information systems news from 18/20 Swedish IS departments. We evaluate the software through a multi-level community detection analysis from 24+ months of news consumption among 100 Swedish information systems researchers.
