The links are all related to research on Information Systems, including methodology, writing, domain-specific resources, citation tools, and much more. The creator of the list graciously allowed me to post an interim version here. My thanks to Professor Dan Remenyi, with whom I’ve corresponded many times.

Happy New Year,

Paul Witman

Specifically, we hope to determine how and whether social networks for the church, including online calendars, discussion boards, and the like, might contribute to behaviors such as greater involvement in church activities including worship, small groups, and volunteer leadership roles. Additionally, we will examine whether use of such tools also contributes to higher levels of giving, either to specific requests or to the routine fund raising of the church. Research hypotheses and a research methodology are proposed, along with directions for future research.
