I/S: A Journal of Law and Policy for the Information Society Releases New Double Issue, Announces Partnership with IAPP

I/S: A Journal of Law and Policy for the Information Society is proud to announce publication of its special Spring/Summer double issue, containing the first of a planned annual series of "Privacy Year in Review" updates. Its publication coincides with the formation of a unique partnership between I/S and the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP), the world's largest association of privacy professionals. The agreement makes all IAPP members subscribers to the journal and provides them a copy of the "Privacy Year in Review" issue, in addition to online access to the remainder of the journal's issues for each volume to which they subscribe.

As a result, the I/S Journal now has one of the largest subscription bases of law journals in the country. The increased circulation adds more than 2,000 subscribers to the journal's readership. "The journal is proud of our affiliation with the IAPP, thereby facilitating this important link between scholars and practitioners," said student editor-in-chief Gina Lee.

"This journal is the product of collaboration among leading experts in the legal and information technology fields," said J. Trevor Hughes, executive director of the IAPP. "We are proud to share this one-of-a-kind resource with our members."

I/S: A Journal of Law and Policy for the Information Society is an interdisciplinary journal of research and commentary concentrating on the intersection of law, policy, and information technology. I/S represents a one-of-a-kind collaboration between one of America's leading law schools, the Ohio State University's Moritz College of Law, and the nation's foremost public policy school focused on information technology, Carnegie Mellon University's H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management. It is jointly produced by Moritz's Center for Interdisciplinary Law and Policy Studies and the Heinz School's Institute for the Study of Information Technology and Society (InSITeS).
