» CSCW Evaluation in Five Types
   One of the potentially confusing aspects of evaluation within computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW) is that there are many activities one might wish to carry out at different times that evaluate socio-technical systems. I identify five ideal types: t

» Helping CSCW Applications Succeed
   This study found that the use of a computer conferencing system in a research and development lab was significantly shaped by a set of intervening actors, "mediators", who actively guided and manipulated the technology and its use over time.
