the research literature - Community Informatics Initiative

Community informatics: the research literature
Community informatics began as practical activity in communities. How is it also a field
of research? One way to answer that is to identify the literature that is the record and
the discourse of researchers. With this initial bibliography, the Community Informatics
Initiative hopes to start a collection that will help advance our field. The initial entries are
the scholarly works—books, book chapters, conference proceedings, journal articles,
and theses—that have been used in community and social informatics courses at the
University of Illinois Graduate School of Library and Information Science since 2005.
To add entries, please write to . The list was started in May 2008
by Kate Williams with the assistance of Kristin LoDolce; additions began in August.
