humanities computing and the internet

The University of Lapland (Finland) will publish a book entitled Lost and
Found in Virtual Reality: Women and Information Technology. We have already
received a good number of outstanding contributions from different

welcome new submissions.

The book is peer-reviewed and due for publication in spring 2005.
