[ecrea] CALL FOR AUTHORS: Encyclopedia of Social Networks by George Barnett

>CALL FOR AUTHORS: Encyclopedia of Social Networks
>
>
>
>We are inviting academic editorial contributors to the Encyclopedia of
>Social Networks, a new 2-volume reference to be published in 2011 by SAGE
>Publications.
>
>
>
>This comprehensive work will be marketed and sold to college, public, and
>academic libraries and includes some 400 articles, covering all aspects of
>social networks from historical perspectives on social networks in ancient
>times to social networks in the Renaissance to the social networks of war to
>Twitter, as well as a wide range of social networks according to region.
>While the term social network evokes fast-moving technologies and services
>like weblogs, MySpace, or YouTube, the concept of a social network greatly
>predates these electronic technologies that have enabled just one aspect of
>it. Simply put, in these articles, a social network is a grouping or loosely
>connected web of individuals tied by one or more specific types of interests
>or interdependencies. These may include everything from similar likes and
>dislikes, friends and kin, disease transmission, or even a shared bus route
>to work, the "grapevine" around the water cooler, and the "old boy" network.
