Hello all,
phones). One of the things we're interested in is whether people make
distinctions between using their device for personal or for
work/professional usage. At the moment, we've got a specific interest
in email usage, but would also be interested in knowing about similar
distinctions being made for web surfing, IM or mobile phone calls.
I haven't had much luck finding anything on this topic in the
communications databases in our library. I do expect that there is
some work out there on this topic, and am hoping that someone on the
list may be able to point us in the right direction.
You might want to have a look at a paper of Sonja Utz: Strategic Email Use. It addresses exactly the distinction between private and professional usage of email. The abstract is available at http://www.dgof.de/gor02/index_en_4.html (You have to scroll down somewhat.)
