Call for Papers 
Journal of Digital Information announces a Special Issue on 
Social Aspects of Digital Information in Perspective 
 
Special issue Editors: 
Roberta Lamb (lamb at cba.hawaii.edu) and Susan Johnson =
(susanj at hawaii.edu</f=
ont>) 
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&nbsp; 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 
<a href=3D"http://jodi.ecs.soton.ac.uk/calls/social.html" =
target=3Dl>http://jodi.ecs.soton.ac.uk/calls/social.html</a> 
 
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. 
 
The Journal of Digital Information is an electronic journal =
published 
Only via the Web. JoDI is currently free to all users thanks to support =
