I was asked by an air-l subscriber to post the basic information on joining the Association of Internet Researchers. I'm not the person who handles memberships, but I can tell you that you can start the process of joining AoIR by going to the organization's homepage: http://aoir.org/ And clicking on the link to join AoIR, which will take you to: http://aoir.org/?q=user/register Please note too that the bottom banner of every air-l post contains this text: "Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/" I hope this helps any who are interested in joining.
