> > Search engines are some of the most commonly accessed Web sites online.
> > Millions of people turn to search engines daily to find information about
> > news, health concerns, products, government services, their new neighbors,
> > natural disasters and a myriad of other topics. At the same time, recent
> > trends suggest that the search engine market is shrinking, with fewer
> > large players guiding users' online behavior than ever before. Despite the
> > crucial role that search engines play in how people access information,
> > little attention has been paid to the social, political, economic, and
> > cultural dimensions of large-scale search engines.
> > 
> > This special issue will explore the social implications of large-scale
> > search engines on the Web. It will bring together experts from the fields
> > of communication, sociology, political science, economics, business, law,
> > and computer and information sciences to consider what we know about
> > people's search engine uses and what recent trends suggest for the types
> > of content that will be most accessible to users in the future.
> > 
> > The following are some questions papers might address: Who uses search
> > engines and for what purposes? What are the effects of search engine use
> > on mass- and interpersonal communication? How do users' communication
> > practices influence search engine functionality? How skilled are various
> > population groups at the use of search engines? How do search engines
> > shape identity management and representation online? Are all search
> > engines created equal? Is all content created equal in the eyes of search
> > engines? Is there a viable public alternative to the search engine market
> > dominated by private actors? These are just some of the possible questions
> > papers in this special issue may address.
