The second volume of the Internet Research Annual is now out and in press. With an introduction by Mia Consalvo and Steve Jones' Notes Toward an Engaged Association, this collection encompasses some of the breadth and depth of Internet Research 4.0 . The Annual has the following sections: 1. Theorizing the Internet and Its Study 2. Intimate Technologies: Internet and Relationships 3. Beyond the Mainstream: Trust, Activism, Dissent, and Online Political Culture 4. Putting the Internet in Its Place 5. The Information Society Online You can buy it at http://www.peterlang.com/index.cfm? vID=66841&vLang=E&vHR=1&vUR=2&vUUR=1 and elsewhere (i ordered mine through amazon) The annual is the Association of Internet Researchers primary publishing venture. It is a good start to our ongoing efforts in that arena. To continue and expand our publishing ventures, we need to demonstrate that our books sell, so I encourage everyone that can afford one, to order a copy and to request their libraries order copies of the annual. That will ensure financial success in our publishing ventures and allow us to pursue future ventures. Congratulations to the authors and editors of the second Internet Research Annual.
