[Air-l] Looking for conferences...

[Elizabeth Van Couvering]

Hej Christer,

I'm working on a production study of search engines (also large-scale  
web sites), and I have presented on this topic at the AOIR  
conference, the IAMCR conference, and the ICA conference.  The  
working groups and sections at the major conferences have groups that  
are receptive to this kind of research - for example the  
communication & technology policy section of the IAMCR.

I don't think you need to feel particularly restricted.

Elizabeth
