Information Technology & People, (former title: OFFICE: Technology & People)
v.6.1, is at the printer's and will be mailed out July '92.

There is still an
opportunity for new subscribers to take the current volume. For those
unfamiliar with this journal, it was founded and formerly edited by Peter Keen
as an interdisciplinary, international journal providing a cross-section of
material from "reference disciplines" pertinent to understanding organizational
and end-user issues in information technology. My concern as editor since v.3
has been to expand on the original charter and provide a venue where IS
research and socially-minded system development papers by computer scientists
could regularly appear side-by-side. The goal is to establish a common
conversation for these two fields, as they affect frameworks and choices in the
design and implementation of information technology. Past issues have featured
work on:
   Scandinavian Approaches to System Development, Tamar Bermann, ed.
   Strategic Systems in Finance, Eric Clemons, ed.
   Technology and Public Policy, Ben Amick, ed.
   Computer-Supported Cooperative Work, Margrethe Olson, ed
and regular issues featuring
   Kling & Iacono, The institutional character of computerized IS
   Klein & Hirschheim, Legitimation in IS development
   Rein & Ellis, The Nick experiment: implications for groupware
   Reder & Schwab, Communicative economy of workgroup: genres..
   Bowers & Churcher, Developing linguistic perspectives on CSCW
   Sorgaard, Transaction supporting systems and organizational change
   Grudin, Why groupware applications fail
   Orlikowski, The information systems profession

Volume 6 will feature papers by Robey & Zmud, Markus, Hellman, Sassone, Igbaria
& Toraskar, George, Iacono & Kling, Clement, Kautz, a special issue on
Prototyping edited by Heinz Zullighoven of Bonn University, and a special issue
on Computing and Women's Administrative Careers in Germany & Austria.

We are now reviewing papers for v.7. A variety of work is published, including
case study and theoretical papers. Material must be important, interesting,
literate, and well-reasoned. Paradigmatic background should be made explicit.
The journal reaches an interdisciplinary audience that includes practitioners,
policymakers, and researchers worldwide. We will mail complimentary copies of
to five colleagues of the authors contributing to an issue.

We offer an individual rate of $65 in connection with this advertisement.
Institutional subscriptions are $135, overseas add $20 shipping for either
category. Enter your subscription c/o Northwind Publications Ltd., #500, 19363
