I apologize in advance for the absurdity of (the scope of) this request--but can anyone point me to a good list of some of the favorite current Internet/New Media related journals. (I realize the words good and favorite in this context are fairly useless descriptors but didn't want this email to become a paper in and of itself, so thought I'd try those words out and see if they'd slip past, unnoticed...) Thanks very much! Cheers, Kevin Kevin Sherman Researcher Institute of Culture, Discourse & Communication

Just so happens that our editorial team (Chris Nippert-Eng, me, Jess Collins, Julie Amoroso) is right now putting together the final version of the special CITASA issue of Information COmmunication and Society -- due out this August. Two of the papers are CoP: Carey Sargent's study of "Local Musicians Building Global Audiences" in Richmond & Charlottesville, Virginia, USA. You can also catch Carey talking about her research on YouTube, and listen to her bank, pinko communards on their own website. Yuri Takhteyev's "Networks of Practice as Heterogeneous Actior Networks: The Case of Software Development in Brazil." The title says it all. Both are nice case studies combining theory, observation and reflection. Enjoy. Barry Wellman _______________________________________________________________________ S.D.
