    Article from 2000 about SI and its purpose. Although it is somewhat older, it is interesting to see 12 years ago what kinds of programs and courses were being offered about SI and where some of the research in SI was going. It would be interesting to compare this to more current information on these topics.

    An easy comparison is noting how much more diverse the sub-topics of social informatics is now. Just like the expanding and evolving technological landscape, informatics changes and grows just as quickly with the subject matter. Good find!

    This is a great resource created by the Social Sciences faculty at the University of Ljubljana. On top of getting information about current projects and events there is also a really great bibliography that might be helpful for our final projects.

    The website is run by Chair for Social Informatics (CSI) at Faculty of Social Sciences (University of Ljubljana), which deals with interaction of modern society and information communication technology (ICT).

    I found this blog by a librarian at Columbia University, when I was first messing around with Diigo. In this blog she writes about articles that she has read on social informatics and comments on them from the perspective of a librarian. Might be interesting as many of the articles pair social informatics and librarianship.

    ^I found this post on e-journals and e-books to be particularly interesting, in that some scholars prefer the print versions because they find them more conducive to browsing and looking at similar content. You can browse electronic material, just not in the same way as you would search a bookshelf. By reading an article through an electronic database, such as ScienceDirect, you can obtain instantaneous access to similar articles (sometimes, ScienceDirect will even "suggest" ones you might like, or you can access articles written by one or more of the authors. If instant access isn't possible, some databases have an automated "Request via Interlibrary Loan" or other document delivery service. You can browse content that interests you and automatically download citations and snapshots to Zotero, Refworks, or another info-gathering tool, and be less likely to misplace your research. Some libraries are caught between a rock and a hard place, because of the lack of space and the cost of storing print journals. But how do you serve the users who prefer the old ways of browsing and gathering research by rifling through these print journals?

    Maranda, this is good stuff. I think for libraries and particularly librarians to continue to be relevant we need this type of analysis of how people are using information technology, how it impacts our society (locally/nationally), and how we can leverage that knowledge to better serve the public both in providing information access and also improving information literacy.

    That sticky note you added about the difference b/w social informatics and community informatics I think will be an interesting topic to take a look at -- particularly in regards to the political aspects of both (could be good stuff for our group presentation -- THX!)

      Resources on Social Informatics. Blog itself is written by students and academia... They use these resources in their posts, as well as citing additional resources in the posts themselves.

      I find this post, (http://socialinformaticsblog.com/2012/05/15/ontology-of-students-in-interdisciplinary-programs/) very similar to this article that I've read before describing what a User Experience Design (UXD) is, (http://uxmag.com/articles/hi-im-a-ux-developer-youre-a-what). Being a graduate student studying UXD, I find it difficult sometimes to explain to people what my field entails just like how a Social Informatics student would feel. It's very unfortunate how some interdisciplinary studies just don't get the same acknowledgement as with other disciplines!

    This blog was created by Indiana University students and faculty who were interested in Social Informatics. On top of providing information on current events, conferences, and a pretty good bibliography, they also write their own entries about related topics in social informatics. Some of the posts seem more geared toward moderate to experts in social informatics, but there are a lot of great posts incorporating theory, literature in the field, personal opinion, and current events.

    I posted this blog above, Maranda, before I could see anyone else's posts... sorry about that! Great minds think alike :)
