[currents in electronic literacy is ba-ack]

Currents in Electronic Literacy is back and is boasting a "new and improved Currents [...] e-journal of the Computer Writing and Research Lab at the University of Texas." Sounds promising.

"We are excited to announce that Currents is moving in a new direction. The Spring 2007 issue of Currents will focus on reviews. We believe a journal based on reviews can be of much greater relevance to the field than our past models, which consisted of a few long articles supplemented by short book reviews. However, in this new model we will conceive of “reviews” more broadly. In addition to reviewing books, we are soliciting reviews of software, websites, blogs, conferences, parallel academic programs, and pedagogical practices. We hope that the new version of Currents will point out emerging trends in the field of electronic literacy.

We see ourselves as opening up a new frontier in the discipline because Currents is the first publication dedicated solely to reviewing new technologies, literatures, and "currents" in the field.
