[SIGCIS-Members] FW: [Sigtis-l] ASIST> SIG-SI: 2010 Social Informatics Best Paper Award

[Thomas Haigh]

See below for a best published paper prize. The place of history within
"social informatics" is not entirely clear (the new category was supposed to
cover examination of the use and shaping of IT within many disciplines
including business schools, sociology, anthropology, computer science,
design, etc but in practice has gained traction primarily within former
library science schools and even there rather unevenly). Still, if you have
published something about the use of IT within some kind of STS framework it
be worth nominating it. Particularly if you used the words "social
informatics" at any point.
