ACM SIGSOC Bulletin (SB)

The ACM SIGSOC Bulletin was the quarterly newsletter of the Special Interest Group on Social and Behavioral Computing (SIGSOC) within the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), first published in 1969 with the print ISSN 0163‑5794 and later archived online under E‑ISSN 2331‑3862. During its nearly 14‑year run (until 1982), it functioned as the primary communication medium for SIGSOC members, offering community news, technical commentary, research highlights, notices on conferences and workshops, and updates on social and behavioral computing topics. The SIGSOC Bulletin reflected interdisciplinary interests at the intersection of social sciences and computing — such as studies of human factors, behavioral analysis in computing environments, and applications of computing to social science research — at a time when such intersections were emerging as key areas of scholarly inquiry. As computing technologies grew in complexity and societal impact, the SIGSOC community gradually reoriented toward human-computer interaction (HCI); in 1982, SIGSOC renamed itself SIGCHI (Special Interest Group on Computer–Human Interaction), and the Bulletin’s legacy continued through the SIGCHI Bulletin. Although historic issues are now archival, the SIGSOC Bulletin remains an important record of early community efforts to bridge computing and social sciences within ACM.
