The Journal of Information Technology in Social Change: The first of the quarterly, peer-reviewed, theme-based Journals of the Gilbert Center. We are proud of the communities that brought this publication together: the practitioners and academics who have come together to push the edges of our understanding of technology and social change, the broad range of reviewers who took seriously our challenge to them to help us select the papers that would most advance our mission to support civil society, the staff of NTEN and The Gilbert Center who, at first awkwardly and then more smoothly, collaborated to make this happen, and everyone who helped us through the learning curve of producing our first peer reviewed publication. Papers were selected from a large pool of remarkably visionary submissions, with the goal of helping us learn about the emerging transformation of civil society in the new world of networks. Even papers which were turned down for this issue are in excellent company and made for fascinating reading. Our inaugural issue includes papers on ICT in the global south, lessons learned reporting in humanitarian work, civil society in online Australia, modernizing the aid relief supply chain, the challenge of data integration, coordination of ICT, and online volunteers. There are also over 100 annotated resources from Nonprofit News. |
