<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Verdana">I'm just about to
launch on some interdisciplinary research on 'ICT and work' (the
others are sociologists/anthropologists, I am an HCI person
interested in CSCW and ethnographic techniques). So we're coming at
the issue from some fairly different literatures.</font></blockquote>
<div><br></div>
<div>There is (of course!) a lot of work on these issues from various
perspectives. I come to think on work psychology, stress, etc,
related to ICT. Also, of course, the issue of "organizational
memory", that has been as much promoted as critisized. I myself
have, together with my doctoral students, been working some on the
issue of ICT in collaborative work with "dynamic systems":
control rooms,of different kinds. Some journal publications that
should be easily available are:</div>

<div>You can also approach Christer Garbis or Henrik Artman directly
for knowing more about their dissertations within this field of
"dynamic control": chrga@tema.liu.se,

<div>Good luck!</div>
