The MIS Quarterly invites submission of unpublished, original research 
for a Special Issue on Information Systems and Environmental 
Sustainability. The call for papers aims to contribute significantly to 
a first wave of rigorous and relevant research that demonstrates the 
role that IS, which has been labeled “green IS,” plays in the areas of 
environmental, economic, and societal sustainability issues. This 
special issue seeks to highlight research that reports developments and 
analyses that provide solutions to global warming; that explicates 
theories and frameworks to guide future research in the area of IS and 
sustainability; and that comprises rigorous empirical analysis of the 
role of information systems, responsive as well as strategic green IS, 
in enabling sustainability efforts. The research might be 
multi-disciplinary such that it includes economics, sociology, 
psychology, design, engineering, or other perspectives and could employ 
multiple methods. It should serve to set the foundation for a continuing 
program of research on sustainability in not only the IS community but 
the business research community in general.

Guest Editors: Arvind Malhotra (University of North Carolina at Chapel 
Hill), Nigel P. Melville (University of Michigan), and Richard T. Watson 
(University of Georgia).

The submission deadline is January 16, 2011. To view this Call for 
Papers, or to download a pdf copy of the call, go to the MIS Quarterly’s
