This is a call for proposals for scholarly contributions to a 
contracted, forthcoming anthology on  Bush Administration information 
policy in relation to issues in civil liberties, freedom of 
information, and data security. Intended for both graduate students 
and practitioners in the field, this work covers topics in the areas 
of privacy, access, and security in relation to information systems 
associated with homeland security, the Patriot Act, and other 
initiatives related to anti-terrorism and emergency response. 

The book, titled "Patriotic Information Systems: Privacy, Access, and 
Security Issues of Bush Information Policy,"  arises from the Winter, 
2005, issue of the "Social Science Computer Review," which is running 
a symposium issue on "Patriotic Information Systems," examining these 
issues. The articles in this symposium are listed below. The book 
will contain revised versions of these essays along with a somewhat 
larger number of new contributions, for which this is the call for 
participation.

If you or a colleague are working in this area and would like to 
participate in this project, please email an outline of your proposed 
contribution to Todd Loendorf <tloendorf@bellsouth.net>, with the 
phrase "Patriotic Information Systems" in the subject line. You are 
also welcome to write to the coeditor, G. David Garson, on matters 
related to this project (<david_garson@ncsu.edu>). 

The proposal deadline is December 15, but we shall be making 
editorial decisions about content between now and then so earlier 
proposals are welcome, particularly since we must have a first draft 
of contributions by May 15,  so they may be reviewed and authors may 
finalize their contributions later in summer 2006. An outline of your 
proposed contribution should be submitted, clearly explaining the 
scope of the proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be 
notified between now and January 14, 2006, at the latest, about the 
status of their proposals and sent chapter organizational guidelines. 
All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a  double-blind review 
basis.

The book is scheduled to be published by Idea Group, Inc., www.idea-
group.com, publisher of the Idea Group Publishing, Information  
Science Publishing, IRM Press, CyberTech Publishing and Idea Group 
Reference imprints.
