(eds) (2014). Social Informatics: Past, Present and Future. Cambridge, UK. Cambridge Scholarly Publishers. 225 pages; also found at URL: https://iu.box.com/s/nrhxmynaspz3yi7dgo5x Since 2005, SI researchers have gathered every fall at the Annual Social Informatics Research Symposium, organized by the Special Interest Group in Social Informatics (SIG-SI) of the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T). The Symposium, which has been held in conjunction with the ASIS&T annual meetings, is now a meeting place for people interested in exploring the social aspects of computerization. Over the years, it has attracted a vibrant mix of established scholars, newcomers to SI and, importantly for the future of this field, many doctoral students from a broad range of disciplines. This book grew out of the 8th Social Informatics Symposium, which was held in Baltimore in the Fall of 2012. A series of very interesting papers were presented that focused on the past, present, and future of social informatics, exploring a wide range of topics relevant to the field. Cambridge Scholarly Publishers approached the Symposium organizers, Pnina Fichman and Howard Rosenbaum, to develop the Symposium theme into what has become this edited volume. Seven of the papers presented at the 2012 Symposium have been expanded into full length chapters and are included in this book along with five papers that were solicited by the editors from presenters at previous SI symposiums. The result is a volume with 12 chapters that provides a look backward to the origin of SI, several examples of current research by SI scholars and several chapters that offer different visions of the future of SI. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
