This bibliography contains a number of different elements. The first is references from the social shaping literature, especially, but not only, those dealing with consumer ICTs. In addition, there are some more theoretical contributions from the Social Construction of Technology or Actor-Network traditions, including ones combined with empirical studies. The bibliography also has some contributions from innovation studies, since these are pertinent to shaping theme. There are some references to material focused particularly on users’ roles in the innovation process, and ‘produsers’. At the end, in a separate section, there are relevant historical studies of particular technologies, although these sometimes overlap with, and hence are repeated in, the first list.
