Marleen Huysman and Volker Wulf have just edited a nice book on Social Capital and Information Technology (MIT Press, 2004). I think it's the 1st book that links the 2 in the foreground, altho many of us have done stuff linking the 2 notions. Among the authors/articles are a good intro/review piece by the editors; Anita Blanchard on dispersed virtual communities and F2F social capital; Rob Cross and Steve Borgatti on informaiton flows in corporations; Chip Steinfeld on the (lack of) use of e-commerce in geographically defined business clusters; Mark Ackerman & Christine Halversman on new CSCW directions for social capital. And Anabel Quan-Haase and Barry Wellman reviewing our research on how the internet may affect social capital in communities online and offline.
