February 1998 ADRonline Monthly

February, 1998

ADRonline monthly will be an evolving and eclectic resource that is intended to link technology and technique. We hope that it will occupy your attention for about a half hour each month. We are happy to consider recommendations to include in ADRonline monthly but please remember that our ADR Links page is a more comprehensive resource of Web-based materials. This month, take a look at:

1. Our revised ADR Web link page - This is a joint project with the Ohio State Journal of Dispute Resolution.

2. Two sites that are working to design online dispute resolution software. Ernest Thiessen's Peace Summit Technologies and Ronald Surrat's conflict resolution applet.

3. Reading of the month - The Promise of Virutal Keiretsus published by the Aspen Institute.

4. Op-Ed/Commentary/Essay of the Month - In lieu of an essay, we would be most grateful if you would fill out the pilot survey of members of the dispute-res listserv. By answering the ten questions in the survey, you are helping us evaluate how easy or difficult it would be to offer survey/questionnaire capabilities to dispute resolution professionals. Since a survey is simply a set of questions addresses to some or many people, it would have many possible uses. Let us know if you would have an interest in using or designing a questionnaire or survey.
