Social Aspects of Digital Information in Perspective

Special issue Editors:
Roberta Lamb (lamb at cba.hawaii.edu) and Susan Johnson = (susanj at hawaii.edu)
University of Hawaii, Manoa

Submission deadline: 27 November = 2003
Publication: May 2004

This call solicits research papers on historically grounded = perspectives
of Social Informatics. This line of inquiry extends one research = stream
of the late Rob Kling, a pioneer in Social Informatics studies who
strived for over 30 years to make social issues central to = discussions
about computing and information systems.

For this issue, we are particularly interested in empirical = examinations
of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) that = carefully
depict and theorize about the cumulative influences of local = histories
on ICT use, with emphasis on the everyday aspects of living with = digital
information in the home, in the workplace, in research labs, in = public
places, and other social settings. We also welcome theoretically
balanced examinations of utopian/dystopian projections about = every-day
Information Society futures; as well as critical examinations of the
impact of past analyses of this kind.

This call encourages presentations of an Information Society as an
ongoing dynamic process, rather than as a static endpoint of some = series
of events. It also continues the JoDI tradition of exploring the new =
formats made available by the Web, while providing a context that is
institutionally compatible with the conditions of academic authorship. =
In addition to traditional full length papers, we are soliciting
accompanying Web pages that, on acceptance after peer review, will
extend the paper with commentaries or more in-depth analyses of the
issues raised in the papers. Within this emergent context,
research-in-progress papers may be particularly well-accommodated, = and
therefore appropriate.

For more details about the types of papers that would be appropriate, =
indicative topics and the submission procedure, see the full call
http://jodi.ecs.soton.ac.uk/calls/social.html

All submissions will be subject to peer review. Publication will = take
place after the accepted papers and Web pages have been integrated
into a hypertext Social Informatics issue by the editors.
