Groupware Pointers

Following is a list of pointers to good groupware resources that you can find throughout the net.
Computer-Mediated Communication Resources, maintained by John December
An extensive compilation of pointers for subjects ranging from the daily use of the internet to more theoretical discussions about the broader implications of CMC. It is formatted as a sectioned list that can be viewed at several levels of detail, with each list hyperlinked to allow easy navigation. Also included are forms that allow users to contribute new information to the database.

Human Computer Interaction (HCI) Bibliography
A bibliography of primarily academic user-interface papers, including many on user-interfaces for groupware applications. Holdings include the complete ACM SIGCHI conference proceedings for 1983-1990, the complete abstracted contents of the journal Human-Computer Interaction, and the contents of several edited handbooks (with release of detailed tables of contents and abstracts pending publisher approval). Also included are over 100 entries on books and major reports on HCI.

The unOfficial Yellow Pages of CSCW
A detailed catalog of Computer Supported Cooperative Work and groupware projects, including an extensive list of resources used in compiling the information. The page also contains numerous links to more specific sites, as well as a useful introduction to CSCW and groupware terms for the uninitiated.

Searchable CSCW Bibliography
Forms-based searchable database containing citations covering distributed file systems, distributed applications, Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), distributed multiuser editors and some other related topics. Sometimes the abstract of the paper is included, in other cases some annotations are included.

JRA Consulting's CSCW Directory
A large list of links pointing to online information about CSCW. The links are broadly organized by the type of information they point to: collections of information, organisations, forums, electronic journals, and other projects and products.

The Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication
A recently created journal whose goals are "to publish original essays and research reports on such topics as interpersonal and group processes in communication networks, issues of privacy, economics and access raised by the developing information infrastructure, instructional communication in distance learning, computer-supported cooperative work, and organizational and social policy issues occasioned by the new medium." Book reviews are available from the top level.

Groupware Central
A bi-monthly newsletter with many departments, including information on upcoming events and conferences. Further information regarding groupware is broken down into applied and research areas. Contributions are actively sought, and the page itself is a collaborative effort.

Workflow on the Web
Concordium Software, a consultancy firm, maintains this very specific information about workflow. It includes description and ordering information for lots of workflow software as well as a current listing of events and periodicals in the field. The Workflow Application Classification Scheme provides guidlines for developers of workflow software, and is available as a free booklet.

GSS-L: Group Support Systems List
GSS-L is an email distribution list for group support systems researchers. It covers issues such as research, products, facilitation, and conferences. It is a forum for seeking information about research tasks, instruments, statistical techniques for analyzing group data, and so forth. Discussion of all GSS topics is encouraged.

Groupware Book Reviews

We maintain reviews of quite a few books about groupware. We've found that they fall into two broad categories: those with an
academic focus, and those with a business focus. For that reason we've separated them into these lists. We'd like to expand this section. If you have information about books not appearing in our lists, please send mail to our webmaster.
