> Hi
> 
> The Global Text Project  <http://globaltext.org> has released
> an open
> content Information Systems text <see
> http://ocp.uni-passau.de/drupal/
>  >. Books are aimed at students in the developing world, who
> frequently cannot afford text books because of their high cost
> relative to local incomes. The IS book is currently in use in
> Ethiopia
> and Indonesia. If you are looking for a IS text for next
> semester,
> please consider this book.
> 
> The IS book is partially complete in that some chapters need
> additional work and some chapters are missing. In particular,
> we are
> missing the chapter titled "Corporate and social
> responsibilities of
> the systems innovator." If you would like to be the editor for
> this
> chapter, please let me know.
> 
> We handle books in the Global Text Project  library like
> software, so
> there are frequent releases as updates become available.
> 
> If you are interested in helping with other books, then please
> let me
> know.
> 
> I will host a breakfast at ICIS on Monday and Wednesday
> morning at 7am
> for chapter editors for the IS book. If you are interested in
> helping,
> you are welcome to join one of the breakfast meetings. Please
> let me
> know if advance if you plan to attend.
