[WEB4LIB] Recent Publications about Collaboratories

[Brian Westra]

Gerry, a while back I did some library research on the topic you 
are interested in. I had pretty good success searching Social Science
Citation Index, and various psychology indexes.

A search of PsychInfo for the descriptors "computer applications" and
"scientific communication" turns up 39 hits.

Also, you may already have the site for the Collaboratory for Research on
Electronic Work; if not, here it is:
