CSCW

This book was largely derived from the work of contributors to a workshop organised by the DTI CSCW SIG. This has since been renamed Team IT and its web site contains many useful CSCW links.

There are also several mailbase mailing lists dedicated to CSCW: cscw-all, cscw-north, cscw-scotland and cscw-sig. The "cscw-all" list was supposed to include all the rest, but in fact they each get different messages with some overlap!

Teleworking

• The International Telework Association and Council includes many regional and national telework organisations as members and has extensive links
• The Telework Association is an independent European teleworking organisation and has links to many other teleworking sites.
• European Telework Online is supported by the European Commission. Its pages include links to other CSCW and Teleworking sources as well as its own definitions of teleworking, teletrade and "telecooperation" also see Euro-Telework another EU sponsored telework portal.
