A couple weeks ago I sent out an email to request for information regarding
activity theory and the design of informations systems,etc. The following
are a list of responses. Not too many, but definitely a great start.

Thank you for everyone who provided me links! If you continue to find
anything on this topic just send it my way. I'll post to iaslash/iawiki/and
of course mywhine.com. I will try to synthesize the materials in some way
in a couple weeks.

Thanks,
Lisa

Matthew Chalmers has lots of other good stuff on activity
theory and social navigation too. Check out his
publicaction list.

If you want more references for the Soc. Nav. stuff, let me
know. I've done two papers on it recently so I could save
you some trouble.

see the work of CSCW theorists such as Liam Bannon and his many co-authors.
Lots of stuff there. Also many of the Participatory Design writers such as
Joan Greenbaum are heavily influenced by AT.
