Just to clarify Monica Murero's Encyclopedia posting:
It
is the Encyclopedia of Communty, to be published by Sage this June.
It
contains 49 articles about the internet (et al) and community, including
a
very nice one in which Monica is the lead author. I edited all of
them
(And a pox on the 2 readers of this list who defaulted on their
articles
at the very end, putting tremendous stress on me and the 2
wonderful
people who jumped in as replacement authors -- they're also readers
of
this list.)
Howevever, the 49 articles are only 1/8 of the entire
Encyclopedia. It's
in 4 volumes. It also has 650 leads to popular books,
movies, etc on
community -- Many thanks to the list readers who responded
with
suggestions. We used most of them.
The bad news is that the book
is expensive. 500+ USD -- which means that
effectively only libraries and
Microsoft employees can afford it!
I have been trying to get Sage to
publish a revised version of our 49
internet/community articles as a separate
book, but they haven't agreed
now. Perhaps after they do their library sales,
we will have better luck.
Of course, we are a fast moving field, and I'd face
the task of editing 49
articles again, but 45/49 were a joy to work with --
thanks to all of
you.
