Abstract

This article presents four views on the impact of advances in electronic media on research outputs in information systems. The four views represent a spectrum of thought on the future of IS outputs and outlets that might be characterized as technophile, classical scholarly, revolutionary, and conservative. The article results from a panel discussion at the International Conference for Information Systems in Barcelona in December 2002. Speaker positions and question responses were revised and enhanced substantially for this article.
