Hi I find this interesting and you may too. As it is both about an internet topic and about ourselves as people in schools and our email use. i would be interested in discussing this or learning more about it if others have examples or research sources on the topic.
EDUCATION | February 21, 2006 To: Professor@University.edu Subject: Why It's All About Me By JONATHAN D. GLATER E-mail has made college professors more approachable, but many say it has made them too accessible, erasing boundaries that had kept students at a healthy distance.

Tim Burke (Swarthmore College) has blogged about this article twice, both times with interesting discussion of the issue, and had one of the professors interviewed in the NYTimes article weigh-in on the topic. http://weblogs.swarthmore.edu/burke/ On Feb 23, 2006, at 3:29 PM, Peter Timusk wrote:

Thanks that was interesting and sane. I guess I should blog my own comments on this article. I really only became successful in school with email available because I could focus in email on course material rather than dropping in on offices where thoughts are incomplete and partial. I think some of these rules discussed are only variations on email etiquette that everyone should read about before writing email. Peter in Ottawa On 23-Feb-06, at 7:50 PM, Aaron Clauset wrote:
