[Air-l] Re: Studies on email use and collaboration

[Caroline Haythornthwaite]

Most of my work is in some way connected with collaborative processes
and media use -- with email as one of the major media use. See the book
chapter below for the overview + examples, and the JASIS and TIS papers
for study details.
