This is a list of mailing lists - open to subscription - to which I subscribe related in one way or another to my interests in the social and policy implications of information technology or sociology in general (or particular). The list below is presented in no particular order. Some are discussion lists, others are one-way for information dissemination on the part of the list-owner only.
