Today, "community" seems to be everywhere. At home, at work, and
online, the vague but comforting idea of the community pervades
every area of life. But have we lost the ability truly to
understand what it means? The Neighborhood in the Internet
investigates social and civic effects of community networks on
local community, and how community network designs are appropriated
and extended by community members. Carroll uses his conceptual
model of "community" to re-examine the Blacksburg Electronic
Village - the first Web-based community network - applying it to
attempts to sustain and enrich contemporary communities through
information technology. The book provides an analysis of the role
of community in contemporary paradigms for work and other activity
mediated by the Internet. It brings to the fore a series of design
experiments investigating new approaches to community networking
and addresses the future trajectory and importance of community
networks. This book will be of interest to students of sociology,
community psychology, human-computer interaction, information
science, and computer-supported collaborative work.
