Throughout the document emphasis is placed on the need for universities to make postgraduate research students aware of the methodological issues that affect their work.; This text explores the relationship between knowledge, methodology and research practice across the broad spectrum of the social sciences in langage that is accessible to researchers at all levels of their research careers.

This text is intended to address fundamental quest ions arising from the on-going debate about IS as a discipline. Information systems is a relatively new area of study having emerged over the last 20 years from domains which include computer and business systems analysis, computing and management science. As with any emerging field, there are many conflicting views about the appropriate subject matter, its boundaries and its relationship to other disciplines.

Each seminar had a particular theme relevant to the problems of the devloping field of IS which attracted leading figures in the IS community.
