[CITASA] Suggested addition to CITASA site: useful conferences and journals

[William A Anderson]

This sounds like a good idea to me.  It could help improve the resources tab of the website.

I'd like to see what the list thinks about the different suggestions, though.  So, if we can post them to the list so that members can comment, that would be good.  If I don't hear anything about a particular resource, I'll go ahead and post it.

One suggestion, though.  Along with a title and a link (e.g. New Media & Society (http://nms.sagepub.com/)), give a sentence or two about why it's a good resource, who the intended audience is, what it's main theme or content is, etc.  Right now the resources tab is a long list of links which you have to follow to figure out what they are.  It'd be good to have a little information up front and it'll help me organize the resources into appropriate categories.

Subject: [CITASA] Suggested addition to CITASA site: useful conferences and journals

Dear all,

While browsing through our official website (http://www.citasa.org), I
thought of a useful addition: a list of conferences and journals that we
consider most useful and interesting. This would be particularly useful
to our new members (including myself, I should note), who are just
starting their adventure with CITASA and may not know what are the
estabilished conferences and 'need-to-read' journals in our field.

Do you think this would be a worthwhile addition to the website? If so,
perhaps we can brainstorm the additions here, and then whoever is
responsible for the website can pick through our suggestions and add
them there?

To start, here are some thoughts (the below list is certainly not
comprehensive, and represents only my limited experience):

Conferences
* WikiSym / International Symposium on Wikis
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiSym)
* Wikimania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimania)

Journals
* First Monday (http://firstmonday.org/)
* International Journal of Information and Communication Technology
(http://www.inderscience.com/browse/index.php?journalCODE=ijict)
* International Journal of Information and Communication Technology
Education (IJICTE) (http://www.igi-global.com/journals/details.asp?id=4287)
* Journal of Instructional Technology and Distance Learning
(http://itdl.org/index.htm0
* Journal of Information Technology & Politics (JITP) (http://www.jitp.net/)
* New Media & Society (http://nms.sagepub.com/)
