Footnote

The volume is organized into 13 sections, each of which contains between two and eight conference papers. As with most conferences, the papers do not cover the issues in each section with equal weight or depth but the editors have grouped papers into reasonable patterns. Section 1 covers "understanding online behavior" with eight papers on problems such as e-learning attitudes, the neuropsychology of HCI, Japanese blogger motivation, and the dividing line between computer addiction and high engagement. Sections 2 (personality and computer attitudes), 3 (cyber interactions), and 4 (new interaction methods) each contain only two papers on topics such as helmet-mounted displays, online energy audits, and the use of ICT in family life. Sections 6, 7, and 8 focus on gender issues with papers on career development, the computer literacy of Malaysian women, mentoring, gaming, and faculty job satisfaction. Sections 9 and 10 move to a broader examination of cyber society and its diversity concerns with papers on cultural identity, virtual architecture, economic growth's impact on culture, and Iranian development impediments. Section 11's two articles on advertising might well have been merged with those of section 13's ebusiness. Section 12 addressed education with papers on topics such as computer-assisted homework, assessment, and Web-based learning. It would have been useful to introduce each section with a brief definition of the theme, summaries of the major contributions of the authors, and analyses of the gaps that might be addressed in future conferences. Despite the aforementioned concerns, this volume does provide a uniquely rich array of technological analyses embedded in social context. An examination of recent works in related areas finds nothing that is this complex culturally or that has such diversity of disciplines. Cultural Production in a Digital Age (Klinenberg, 2005), Perspectives and Policies on ICT in Society (Berleur & Avgerou, 2005), and Social, Ethical, and Policy Implications of Information Technology (Brennan & Johnson, 2004) address various aspects of the society/Internet intersection but this volume is unique in its coverage of psychology, gender, and culture issues in cyberspace. The lip service often given to global concerns and the value of interdisciplinary analysis of intransigent social problems seldom develop into a genuine willingness to listen to unfamiliar research paradigms. Academic silos and cultural islands need conferences like this one-willing to take on the risk of examining the large questions in an intellectually open space. Editorial and methodological concerns notwithstanding, this volume merits review and, where appropriate, careful consideration across disciplines."

Sämtliche Beiträge sind von hohem Niveau und bieten anspruchsvolle Lektüre. Verallgemeinert formuliert, fragen sie nach der Verknüpfung zwischen dem breiteren Kontext des Warum und Wie der menschlichen Informationssuche und den technischen bzw. sonstigen Randbedingungen, die die Interaktion zwischen Benutzern und Systemen bestimmen. Natürlich liegt hier kein Hand- oder Lehrbuch vor, sodass man - fairerweise - nicht von einer systematischen Behandlung dieses Themenbereichs oder einem didaktischen Aufbau ausgehen bzw. derlei erwarten darf. Das Buch bietet jedenfalls einen guten und vielfältigen Einstieg und Einblick in dieses interessante Forschungsgebiet. Fachlich einschlägige und größere allgemeine Bibliotheken sollten es daher jedenfalls in ihren Bestand aufnehmen. Schon die Rezension des oben zitierten zweiten Buches des Herausgeber-Duos Spink-Cole enthielt einen kritischen Hinweis auf das dortige Sachregister. Der vorliegende Band erfordert noch stärkere Nerven, denn der hier als "Index" bezeichnete Seitenfüller spottet geradezu jeder Beschreibung, umso mehr, als wir uns in einem informationswissenschaftlichen Kontext befi nden. Was soll man denn tatsächlich mit Einträgen wie "information" anfangen, noch dazu, wenn dazu über 150 verschiedene Seitenzahlen angegeben werden? Ähnlich verhält es sich mit anderen allgemeinen Begriffen wie z.B. "knowledge", "model", "tasks", "use", "users" - allesamt mit einer gewaltigen Menge von Seitenzahlen versehen und damit ohne Wert! Dieses der Leserschaft wenig dienliche Register ist wohl dem Verlag anzulasten, auch wenn die Herausgeber selbst seine Urheber gewesen sein sollten. Davon abgesehen wurde wieder einmal ein solide gefertigter Band vorgelegt, der allerdings wegen seines hohen Preis eher nur institutionelle Käufer ansprechen wird."
