Facebook Use and Users / Call for Papers

The Department of Information Science of Heinrich-Heine University of 
Düsseldorf has a project named "ProFaceBook" started. The purpose of the 
project is to encourage and publish high-class papers by Facebook 
experts in an anthology. We call for papers that are empirical in 
nature. Accepted papers are published in the planned anthology entitled, 
"Facebook Use and Users" (working title), distributed by the publishing 
house De Gruyter Saur in its book series "Knowledge & Information." 
Acceptance is based on a strict peer review in a double-blind process.

The following topics are provided:
