Earlybird deadline for IR13.0
by Alexander Halavais 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hello, AoIR members, past members, and members yet to join! Some of you have already heard from me through another email, but just wanted to remind you that the deadline for IR13.0 earlybird registration--September 1--is fast approaching. For those of you who share my academic schedule, and are in the midst of early semester tribulations, it can easily sneak up on you. This is particularly important, of course, for those of you who are presenting papers or on panels in Salford, as we need to see you registered to finalize the program. But it is also important for those of you who will be participating in the conference without delivering a talk, panel, or roundtable, and want to pay the lower earlybird rate. Way back in the wayback days of IR, we had a roommate finder on the wiki. Just in case, I've started blank pages for those in search of roommates or with hotel rooms they are looking to share. Also did the same for pub/restaurant/etc meetups: http://wiki.aoir.org/page/IR13.0_Roommate_Finder http://wiki.aoir.org/page/IR13.0_Pub_Finder If you *don't* have hotel reservations, I strongly recommend you get them, I've heard that space is becoming a premium. Best, Alex -- -- // // This email is // [x] assumed public and may be blogged / forwarded. // [ ] assumed to be private, please ask before redistributing. // // Alexander C.

Research on Saatchi online
by Mirko Tobias Schaefer 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

Hi all, I was wondering whether you are familiar with any research on the art online platform 'Saatchi online'. I am particularly interested in research that focuses on the economic side of the platform, but I would be also very happy to learn more about media practices, interface design, terms of use, practises, etc. Our data base at Utrecht University did not retrieve a single entry, maybe you can help. Much appreciated, mirko Mirko Tobias Schäfer | Assistant Professor for New Media & Digital Culture | Department for Media and Culture Studies | Faculty of Humanities | Utrecht University | MCW | Muntstraat 2a | 3512 EV Utrecht | T: +31-644620751 | M: m.t.schaefer(a)uu.nl | W: www.mtschaefer.net

According to the manual it would only appear as an in text citation, not in the references. It says you would show the first two initials of the correspondent, the words "personal communication" and as exact a date as possible. The example they give looks something like this: (T.K. Lutes personal communication, August 28, 2012) . If you reference the name in the author in the text, you can just parenthetically cite that it's personal correspondence and give the date. If it's a public tweet, I would just cite it like any other blog post. I hope this is helpful for you.

citing a tweet - blind review issues?
by Nikki Usher 26 Aug '12

26 Aug '12

Hi all: I find myself citing tweets more and more often: for instance, I had a question about an article I was working on and went to twitter, where the head of the web analytics company I had a question about wrote back to me directly, for instance, and the company provided me with a useful infographic and quote to illustrate their point. I want to cite the Tweet, and will, but for anyone super curious, the Tweet and link are obvs. public and anyone can figure out it's me. Do I care? What should we do? Is there an easy answer to this? -- Nikki Usher, PhD Assistant Professor George Washington University School of Media and Public Affairs (o) 202-994-3841 (m) 213-220-7824 www.nikkiusher.com
