kvetch!

A paper that I wrote earlier this year was just published in the most recent issue of Faculty of Information Quarterly. F/IQ is an e-journal started last year by fellow iSchool students — most notably Meghan Ecclestone — and continues to be run entirely by current students.

It’s titled Kvetch: Information Sharing in an Online Wedding Forum. This was my first dive into true social sciences research & information studies ‘in the field.’ I really immersed myself in the project and find myself feeling there’s much more to be said about the topic of virtual communities and information sharing.

For now though, it’s Christmas break! I’ve spent the past week or so working away on a little project that I’m pretty excited about involving Camtasia screencasts. But we’ll just have to wait until the new year to see the final product!
