Dr. Andrew Sears, Chair, Department of Information Systems at UMBC has been named Associate Editor for the European Journal of Information Systems (EJIS). The appointment is a multi-year assignment for Dr. Sears through 2012 where he will join an international cohort of editors.

The European Journal of Information Systems provides a distinctive European perspective on the theory and practice of information systems for a global audience and offers a critical view on technology, development, implementation, strategy, management and policy. The journal encourages first rate research articles by academics, but also case studies and reflective articles by practitioners.

Earlier this year, Dr. Sears was also named to the editorial board of the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies (IJHCS).
