David Garson <Garson@social.chass.ncsu.edu> Reply-To: "G. David Garson <garson"@social.chass.ncsu.edu To: Past.Contributors/Correspondents.for.the.Social.Science.Computer.Review@Ag.a rizona.edu, PA.Faculty.Member.in.IT@Ag.arizona.edu, "Social Science Computing Interest Lists"@Ag.arizona.edu Subject: Invitation to publish: information systems, privacy, security, access This is a call for proposals for scholarly contributions to a contracted, forthcoming anthology on Bush Administration information policy in relation to issues in civil liberties, freedom of information, and data security. Intended for both graduate students and practitioners in the field, this work covers topics in the areas of privacy, access, and security in relation to information systems associated with homeland security, the Patriot Act, and other initiatives related to anti-terrorism and emergency response. The book, titled "Patriotic Information Systems: Privacy, Access, and Security Issues of Bush Information Policy," arises from the Winter, 2005, issue of the "Social Science Computer Review," which is running a symposium issue on "Patriotic Information Systems," examining these issues. The articles in this symposium are listed below. The book will contain revised versions of these essays along with a somewhat larger number of new contributions, for which this is the call for participation. If you or a colleague are working in this area and would like to participate in this project, please email an outline of your proposed contribution to Todd Loendorf <tloendorf@bellsouth.net>, with the phrase "Patriotic Information Systems" in the subject line. You are also welcome to write to the coeditor, G. David Garson, on matters related to this project (<david_garson@ncsu.edu>). The proposal deadline is December 15, but we shall be making editorial decisions about content between now and then so earlier proposals are welcome, particularly since we must have a first draft of contributions by May 15, so they may be reviewed and authors may finalize their contributions later in summer 2006. An outline of your proposed contribution should be submitted, clearly explaining the scope of the proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified between now and January 14, 2006, at the latest, about the status of their proposals and sent chapter organizational guidelines. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. The book is scheduled to be published by Idea Group, Inc., www.idea- group.com, publisher of the Idea Group Publishing, Information Science Publishing, IRM Press, CyberTech Publishing and Idea Group Reference imprints.
