ABOUT THE MINI-TRACK:
The Social Networking and Communities Mini-track
calls for papers that address social networks and communities supported
and/or complemented by social media for work, learning, socializing,
economic and/or political processes, and/or that address design,
practices, use or evaluation of such social media use. Papers are
encouraged that address communities in a broad sense of its use,
including communities of practice, epistemic communities, or communities
of inquiry; as well as fully virtual communities, and social media use
that supports or complements geographically based community. We
particularly encourage papers that: advance our understanding of social
network growth, formation, structure and outcomes through social media;
advance our understanding of the design of social media technologies and
practices for effective community development and maintenance; studies
of socio-technical aspects of social media use that explore how the
technology relates to social outcomes; theoretical studies that explore
models and principles of social media design, use and outcomes.
