Bankrolled by IBM, the University of Arizona at Tucson has built up a big electronic meeting systems lab, in which group work is accomplished by participants sitting at keyboards and monitors, typing out their comment, planning ideas, and so forth. It is the antithesis of everything Interactive Management means, and apparently Warfield was saving a collection of papers in order to write something on what he called "The Arizona System." There were formerly six papers tucked into this folder with Warfield's 3 handwritten pages. The six papers are now moved into the office PAPERS BY OTHERS FILE CABINET, and are no longer in this folder. This is a list of the Arizona Systems papers which were at one time in this folder:
1) Contract Negotiations in an Electronic Meeting Room: Two Case Studies (University of Arizona August 29 (1990) 26 p.) [now in Box 17, Folder 20 of Warfield Special Collection]
2) Electronic Meeting Systems to Support Group Work. (COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM v34 n7 July (1991)40-61.) [now in Box 39, Folder 24]
3) Electronic Meeting System Experience at IBM.(Journal of Management Information Systems, v6 n3 Winter (1989-90) 18p.) [ now in Box 17, Folder 34]
4) Implementing Electronic Meeting Systems at IBM: Lessons Learned and Success Factors.(MIS Quarterly December (1990) 368-383.) [now in Box 17, Folder 28]
5) At These Shouting Matches, No one Says A Word. (Business Week June 11 (1990). [not found in Fenwick finding aid]
Anonymity Makes Electronic Boardroom Work. (Los Angeles Times Tuesday, November 6 (1990) D2.)
6) Business Meetings by Keyboard. (The New York Times, Sunday October 21 (1990) F25.) [not found in Fenwick finding aid]
P.S. (Dec. 2000) When we shipped stuff to GMU Special Collections, all of these six papers were sent as part of the "COMPARISON PAPERS" group, and should be archived at Fenwick Library, unless they decided they didn't want them and shipped them back to us, which we don't know yet.
