CALL FOR PAPERS
SOCIAL INFORMATICS
Special Topic Issue of
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF INFORMATION SCIENCE
(JASIS)
The next Special Topics Issue of the Journal of the American Society for Information Science) (JASIS) is scheduled to come out in early 1998 and will focus on the topic of SOCIAL INFORMATICS. The guest editors for this special issue will be Professors Rob Kling, Carol A. Hert, and Howard Rosenbaum of the School of Library and Information Science and Center for Social Informatics at Indiana University.
Social Informatics (SI) refers to the body of research and study that examines social aspects of computerization -- including the roles of information technology in social and organizational change, the uses of information technologies in social contexts, and the ways that the social organization of information technologies is influenced by social forces and social practices. SI studies are often cognizant of the ways that people and organizations act in support of differing social values and beliefs, and have different positions of power in their various relationships.
Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:- impacts of information technologies in groups, organizations, and larger scale social settings;- analysis of computerization and the use of information technologies, in social context;- life with computer-mediated communication (CMC);- the social shaping of information systems;- the production, distribution and consumption of texts;- the roles of information technologies in changing or reinforcing patterns of worklife, community life, and the character of institutions.
