Interaction<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>ABSTRACT > <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As prominently stated on its homepage, the Informing Science
Institute is “an organization of colleagues helping colleagues … [that] draw[s]
together people … who teach, research, and use information technologies to
inform clients … [and who] share their knowledge with others,” regardless of
[their respective] disciplines. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>While its meetings and publications provide opportunities to
communicate, current and emerging online technologies have the potential of
facilitating greater collaboration between and among scholars and their
publics, regardless of location, time, or academic focus.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In this presentation, we will provide an overview of select
online professional and social networks, and describe the features and
functionalities that can foster more dynamic interaction within the diverse
InSITE communities. The presentation will conclude with a demonstration of a
proposed online professional network<o:p></o:p></p>
