Subject: Invitation to publish: information systems, privacy, security, access

This is a call for proposals for scholarly contributions to a
contracted, forthcoming anthology on  Bush Administration information
policy in relation to issues in civil liberties, freedom of
information, and data security. Intended for both graduate students
and practitioners in the field, this work covers topics in the areas
of privacy, access, and security in relation to information systems
associated with homeland security, the Patriot Act, and other
initiatives related to anti-terrorism and emergency response.

The book, titled "Patriotic Information Systems: Privacy, Access, and
Security Issues of Bush Information Policy,"  arises from the Winter,
2005, issue of the "Social Science Computer Review," which is running
a symposium issue on "Patriotic Information Systems," examining these
issues. The articles in this symposium are listed below. The book
will contain revised versions of these essays along with a somewhat
larger number of new contributions, for which this is the call for
participation.

If you or a colleague are working in this area and would like to
participate in this project, please email an outline of your proposed
contribution to Todd Loendorf <tloendorf at bellsouth.net>, with the
phrase "Patriotic Information Systems" in the subject line. You are
also welcome to write to the coeditor, G. David Garson, on matters
related to this project (<david_garson at ncsu.edu>).

The proposal deadline is December 15, but we shall be making
editorial decisions about content between now and then so earlier
proposals are welcome, particularly since we must have a first draft
of contributions by May 15,  so they may be reviewed and authors may
finalize their contributions later in summer 2006. An outline of your
proposed contribution should be submitted, clearly explaining the
scope of the proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be
notified between now and January 14, 2006, at the latest, about the
status of their proposals and sent chapter organizational guidelines.
All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a  double-blind review
basis.

The book is scheduled to be published by Idea Group, Inc., www.idea-
group.com, publisher of the Idea Group Publishing, Information
Science Publishing, IRM Press, CyberTech Publishing and Idea Group
Reference imprints.
