Dear all

Greetings from a new poster to the list. I am a second year doctoral student
at the Royal School of Library and Information Science in Copenhagen
investigating barriers to accessing information resources on the Internet,
from the perspective of the international library community. I'm sorry if
this post seems a bit vague but I appear to have mislaid an article I read
recently on the changing discourse relating to the internet, most especially
the rising incidence of the term e-commerce (or e-business, I believe) over
the past decade as business and commodification of information have become
ever more present on the web. Does research of this kind ring any bells to
people? the article was seeking to demonstrate the growing importance of
business related activities on the web while other uses (education,
communication) received less attention as time went on.

Does anyone know anything about research of this type?!

Can't believe I've mislaid the article...

Cheers,

Stu
