I taught an Information, Technology and Organizations a few years back for undergrads. The syllabi are online. This is the most recent, but definitely out of date at this time. http://people.lis.uiuc.edu/~haythorn/lis201_f02.html /Caroline ---- Original message ----

Hi all, Hope you all are well! I am looking for some reading recommendations for a class I'm teaching this spring. It is an MA-level course in a technology-focused department with two tracks - one focused on web design and the other on social science and policy. The course is called "Organizations and Technology" and the description is quite broad. I am looking to revamp the class, most likely with a focus on industry developments and the ways in which various orgs are incorporating/capitalizing on "web 2.0" features.
Any suggestions re: readings? Some I am already evaluating: Nicholas Carr's "Does IT Matter," "Information Rules" (Shapiro and Varian), "Long Tail" (Anderson), and "Wikinomics" (Tapscott and Williams). Article suggestions are welcome as well.
Thanks much in advance!
Nicole
