Dear Colleague, Every year around this time, I undertake an effort to inform people about Design Research News and expand our subscriber base. Expanding DRN is one way to serve the field of design research by prevailing news, services, and information. Design Research News is a free, monthly email newsletter with information on design and design research. It is sponsored by the Design Research Society as a professional and educational service. Design Research News publishes information on projects, exhibitions, conferences, funding sources, and current books for an international audience in design research, practice, and education. Over 7,300 subscribers around the world receive Design Research News on the first of every month. Design Research News is NOT a discussion list. Only the newsletter is sent. To subscribe simply go to URL: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/design-research.html Then, click on the line marked: Join or leave the JISCmail list (or change settings) and follow the instructions. We often publish material that will interest colleagues in other fields, including management studies, social science, and the arts. This includes crossover projects linking knowledge management, intermedia, and design, as well as book reviews on the knowledge economy, information science, research and research methods, and web-based research resources.
