Three e-mail related studies were accepted in ACM TOIS(Transaction on Office Information Systems) from CSCW conferences, those days: %A R. E. Rice %A D. E. Shook %T Access to, Usage of, and Outcomes for an Electronic Messaging System %J ACM TOIS %V 6 %N 3 %P 255-276 %D July 1988 %A J. E. Evaland %A T. K. Bikson %T Work Group Structures and Computer Support: A Field Experience %O Rand Corp. %J ACM TOIS %V 6 %N 4 %P 354-379 %D October 1988 %A Wendy. E. Mackay %O MIT %T Diversity in the use of Electronic Mail %J ACM TOIS %V 6 %N 4 %D October 1988 %P 380-397 I copied it from my old survey list, however, it may contain some mistyping. From my CSCW'88 proceeding, J.E.Evaland's original title is "Work Grup Structures and Computer Suppoort:A Field Experiment", and W.E.Mackay's original title was "More than Just a Communication System: Diversity in the Use of Electronic Mail". -- yam -- Toshihiko YAMAKAMI(NTT, Japan) Resident visitor in Bell Labs until Feb 1991 Room 4G634, AT&T Bell Labs, Crawfords Corner Rd.
