Hello everyone, The Association of Internet Researchers has just published our first Internet Research Annual culling many of the best papers from our first three conferences. Here is the information: Internet Research Annual: Selected Papers from the Association of Internet Researchers Conferences 2000-2002, Volume 1 Edited by Mia Consalvo, Nancy Baym, Jeremy Hunsinger, Klaus Bruhn Jensen, John Logie, Monica Murero, and Leslie Regan Shade Digital Formations, Volume 19 $29.95 / 296 pages / Paperback / Spring 2004 Internet Research Annual offers a selection of the best work presented at the first three conferences of the Association of Internet Researchers, and provides a useful overview of the cutting-edge in Internet studies. Established scholars and new researchers address issues such as communities on/off line, the Internet as a methodological tool and space for research, and the places, politics, and policies of the Internet, creating a volume that comprehensively covers the field of Internet research. Also included are a brief history of the organization, a list of previously published papers from the conferences, and works by several of the keynote speakers including Phil Agre, Barbara Warnick, Bill Dutton, Sheizaf Rafaeli, Susan Herring, Robin Mansell, and much more.

In the next few days I will be emailing (paid) AoIR members information on how to get a 20% discount on the book. AoIR members also receive discounted registration at the conference and discounts on a number of journals (in addition to knowing they've done their part to keep this association on its fiscal feet).
