a review of the field of CSCW with respect to digital libraries; covers both library & information science and computer science

provides a physical, organizational, technological, and intellectual environment conducive to collaborative development of world-class software engineering skills.

An annotated bibliography, through 1991, of computer supported cooperative work. This bibliography is a part of the Computer Science Bibliography Collection.

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: the effects of a new computer system in an organisation; the formative development of a piece of software; the evaluation of conceptual developments; the evaluation of a cooperative system where factors other than the computers are more interesting; and the determination of which piece of software to buy.

ACM's 1998 Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work

Research paper about virtual organizations and the information technology needed to support them. Published in Crossroads, the ACM student magazine.

The Research Group on Computer Supported Cooperative Work studies the problems of working groups distributed in time and space and develops adequate support systems.

GROUP ?99 provides a forum for researchers and practitioners who are interested in topics related to computer-based systems which have an impact on groups, organizations and social networks. Relevant issues include design, implementation, deployment, evaluation, methodologies, and effect of these systems.

Abstract and text of CSCW research papers from GoupLab, 1983-1999.

Technologies which support collaboration are in greater demand today than ever before, and, in recognition of that fact, vendors are integrating collaboration technologies into their products. Distributed workforces, information overload, and getting products to market as quickly as possible are just a few of the motivations pushing collaboration technology development.

Elaboration of the primary issues in designing collaborative systems, including issues of group size and structure, floor control, privacy, and groupware adoption.

This study found that the use of a computer conferencing system in an R&D lab was significantly shaped by a set of intervening actors---mediators---who actively guided and manipulated the technology and its use over time.

When people communicate, they process vast quantities of information. HCRC brings together theories and methods from several formal and experimental disciplines to understand better how this happens. We focus on spoken and written language; we also study communication in other media - visual, graphical and computer-based.

A "manifesto" for how groupware technologies could dramatically improve the efficiency of scientific collaboration.

Groupware is software that helps groups of people work together. This introduction explains the goals and purposes of groupware, and some of the challenges involved.

In CSCW environments data and operations can be shared by users and/or they can have their own defined data and operations which may not be shared by other users.

a toolkit to support the creation of CSCW applications; exploits open implementation techniques to achieve a greater degree of flexibility than has been possible using traditional techniques

a general framework for the construction of groupware and CSCW applications.

An overview of the primary groupware applications, including both synchronous groupware (video, chat, shared drawing) and asynchronous (email, workflow, newsgroups).
