Rob Kling organized a seminal conference, Advances in Organizational and Social Informatics Workshop, Indiana Univ., Bloomington, Nov. 1997. It helped to define the field and identify its proper label. Many smart and leading people were there. Rob is dead now, alas, but my guess is that if you google on this conference or go to the IU School of Information website you should find some useful stuff. Which raises the ghoulish question: Does Rob's website live on after him.[Which further reminds me that I was Judy Merril's email executor for 3 months after she passed away.] Barry _____________________________________________________________________ Barry Wellman Professor of Sociology NetLab Director wellman at chass.utoronto.ca http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~wellman Centre for Urban & Community Studies University of Toronto 455 Spadina Avenue Toronto Canada M5S 2G8 fax:+1-416-978-7162 To network is to live; to live is to network _____________________________________________________________________

try www.slis.indiana.edu/csi [CSI no longer exists, but there's still stuff there.] rob's personal accounts went away fairly soon after he passed away, but the CSI site was where most of the things people were interested in were housed. it will probably go away soon - someone should probably mirror it for historical purposes. elijah

Rob Kling's home page is also still online at <http://www.slis.indiana.edu/faculty/kling/>. It contains scads of publications, including the 210-page report from the 1997 NSF-sponsored conference that Barry mentions <http://www.slis.indiana.edu/SI/Arts/SI_report_Aug_14.doc>.
