***** To join INSNA, visit http://www.insna.org ***** Everything old is new again: There has been recurrent interest in social networks and social work 1. Service delivery networks. Interorganizational ties. I don't know much about this, but several folks took my Networks 4 Newbies intro course at the Sunbelt. 2. Social support studies. (as others have mentioned, also big in community psychology). There's a lit review on this from the 1990s on my website (or if not, tell me and I'll put it there), and also, Wellman & Wortley, "Different Strokes from Different Folks" (AmJSoc, 3-90). But for a serious search, let me remind you that INSNA went to some trouble and expense a few years ago to put all of Connections on the web. It's searchable, folks!
