In this study the global Information Systems academic community is viewed as a community of practice in which knowledge is resident but inadequately shared. The article begins by examining the application of knowledge management in communities of practice, especially the knowledge needs of shared work practitioners and conditions that facilitate knowledge sharing. The central part of the paper proposes an Information Systems Expert Network (ISExpertNet) as a solution for the global IS academic community to use in sharing expert knowledge. Especially, appropriate incentives to encourage knowledge contributions and operations of ISExpertNet are discussed. The article concludes by offering several suggestions for future research and development of ISExpertNet.
