Two School of Information students and one professor will present their work at the upcoming ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work in Savannah, Georgia, February 6–10.
Doctoral student Judd Antin and assistant professor Coye Cheshire will present their paper "Readers are Not Free-Riders: Reading as a Form of Participation on Wikipedia". The paper was awarded an honorable mention for the "Best of CSCW" award.
Master's student Andy Brooks will be part of the panel discussion "Tapping the Social Web for CSCW Research: Terms of Service, Ethics, and Bias".
Brooks will also be participating in the day-long workshop "Revisiting Research Ethics in the Facebook Era: Challenges in Emerging CSCW Research" (co-organized by I School alumna Sarita Yardi, MIMS 2006). As part of the workshop, Brooks will present his paper "Knowing Me, Knowing You: A Case Study of Social Networking Sites and Participant Recruitment", co-authored by Elizabeth Churchill of Yahoo! Research (and an I School lecturer).
The CSCW conference is a premier venue for research in the design and use of technologies that affect groups, organizations, and communities. CSCW 2010 brings together top researchers and practitioners who are interested in both the technical and social aspects of collaboration. The conference is sponsored by SIGCHI, the ACM's Special Interest Group on Computer Human Interaction. CSCW 2010 will be the twenty-second CSCW conference.
