The term "social informatics," at least among those who work in one or more of the various fields it helps to unite, unavoidably elicits its originator and greatest advocate, Rob Kling. Kling coined the term in order to help describe a perspective in which information technologies were studied within their social contexts. It was also used to describe a new interdiscipline, one that drew computer science and the social sciences closer together, and that recognized a literature at this nexus as an emergent, cohesive whole. Kling answered the question "What is social informatics?" explicitly not only in widely read articles on the topic, but in public talks and private conversations. As the idea of social informatics has become more widely known, another question follows it: where is social informatics? Has it made an imprint on scholarly institutions
