Geof, Paul, Steve, and Cory Knobel have an article in this book, “The Long Now of Cyberinfrastructure.”

Dear Contributors,

Our book, World Wide Research, is now in print, and a complementary copy will be sent to you as soon as possible. Copies will be mailed from MIT Press to contributors in North America. Others will be sent a copy from Oxford, as soon as we receive copies.

We hope you will find our book to be a valuable contribution to multi-disciplinary research on the role of computation and networking to the sciences, social sciences and humanities, as well as on the study of communication and information technologies more generally.

The best link to information relevant to ordering copies of the book is <http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?tid=12185&ttype=2> (major retailers also stock the book, including Amazon.com <http://www.amazon.com/World-Wide-Research-Reshaping-Humanities/dp/0262513730/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1275472941&sr=1-1> and Amazon.co.uk <http://www.amazon.co.uk/World-Wide-Research-William-Dutton/dp/0262513730/ref=ed_oe_p>). We hope you will ask your respective libraries to include this book in their collection, and draw the attention of your colleagues to the book.

As co-editors, we wanted to take this opportunity to once again thank you for your contribution. There were all the issues involved with editing a book with such a significant set of contributors, but for us, the end result has exceeded our expectation and made it all worth every effort expended. We hope you will feel the same about this collection.

Don’t hesitate to get back to us with any feedback and best wishes for your continuing contributions to World Wide Research.

Sincerely,

Bill Dutton and Paul Jeffreys

Oxford
