I am happy to announce that AoIR members are now able to receive a
US$40 discount on subscriptions to The Information Society:


<fontfamily><param>Times_New_Roman</param>Taylor and Francis, Inc., is
pleased to offer to AoIR members a special discounted rate on
subscriptions to 


THE INFORMATION SOCIETY: AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL

Editor-in-Chief: Rob Kling, Center for School Informatics, Indiana
University


THE INFORMATION SOCIETY is the forum for thoughtful commentary about
impacts, policies, systems concepts, methodologies, and cultural change
related to the rapidly emerging information society.  As an
international, refereed publication, this quarterly provides scholarly
articles, position papers, short communications, review essays, and
book reviews.  


The journal acts as an arena for debate on the following topics, among
others:

- the rise of virtual communities through worldwide many-to-many
communication;

- corporate "outsourcing" of information, cross-border data flow, and
global job mitigation;

- cultural change and fears of cultural imperialism;

- ethics, gender, and privacy in an electronic world;

- changing National Information Infrastructures: politics and
socio-cultural effects

- electronic democracies: implications and options


THE INFORMATION SOCIETY is read by scholars and professionals involved
with science and technology studies, information sciences,
communications, and information systems, as well as by researchers,
managers, policy-makers, and others concerned with the effects of the
information revolution on individuals, organizations, and society.

AoIR members also qualify for discounted subscriptions to these
journals: 


-Information, Communication and Society (50% discount)

-New Media & Society (20% discount)

-Cyberpychology and Behavior (~30% discount)

-e-Service Journal:  A Journal of Electronic Services in the Public and
Private Sectors (20% discount)


These discounts generally exceed the cost of AoIR membership, so if you
are interested in subscribing to even one of them, it is in your best
financial interest to join AoIR. If you'd like to subscribe to more
than one, you will be paying to NOT be a member of AoIR. 


AoIR members also qualify to run for office and vote in aoir's upcoming
elections (and bylaws revision), to register for the 2001 conference at
a discounted rate, to access paper archives from Internet Research 1.0,
and to access and contribute to the members-only web area that is about
to debut. 


If you registered for Internet Research 1.0 or have paid your dues, you
are already a member and are eligible for these benefits now (these
memberships expire in September, 2001). Subscribing to this list
(air-l) does not in itself constitute membership. If you would like to
join AoIR, please visit:

If there are other journals you would like me to pursue discounts with,
or other benefits you think AoIR should pursue for its members, please
let me know.


Thank you,


Nancy
