Subject: Ph.D. Thesis: Electronic Mail and the Information Professional

Dear Colleague,

Allow me to introduce myself: I am a Danish Research Librarian
and Information Scientist, who is very interested in CMC use in
the information field (libraries, scientific communication,
etc.).

I am looking for people who share the same interest.

I would like to inform you about my Ph.D. Thesis which has been
published just now. The subject is Library and Information
Science and its title is:

"Electronic Mail and the Information Professional. A study of
Computer-Mediated Communication and its future prospects in the
information field." 1992, 308 pages. ISBN 87-984180-0-9.

The Thesis has been submitted to (and approved by) the
Department of Information Science, The Aarhus School of Business
Administration, Economics, and Modern Languages, Denmark. The
main academic supervisor was Professor, Fil.dr. Irene Wormell,
Royal School of Librarianship, Copenhagen. On the 12th June 1992
I defended it publically at the Aarhus Business School.

The intended audience is any information professional, including
graduate Library and Information Science students. Among the
topics treated are: Information Science and Communication
Research, information work automation, human factors, new roles,
new working conditions, new qualifications, CMC (E-mail, BBS,
Electronic Conferencing), Decision Support Systems, CSCW, CMC
for information professionals. Empirical findings from
bibliometric surveys and a Delphi study (forecasting future CMC
use) are analyzed.

The price of the Thesis is USD 35 + first class postage (USD 7
for European countries, USD 11 for other countries). Price in
GBP: 20 + first class postage (GBP 4 in Europe). If you pay by
cheque in USD in advance, please add USD 5 (exchange expenses).

If you or the library of your institution would like to order
this Thesis, please let me know by e-mail or fax. Invoice will
be sent together with Thesis. Please, inform your library and
colleagues interested in CMC.

Thank you very much!
