This online 2007-2008 form•Z Joint Study Journal is the same as that printed and distributed to all the members as well as friends of the Joint Study Program.

This online Journal has been produced as a Portable Document Format (PDF), and it is quite interactive. Clicking on any of the PDF files below will launch Acrobat Reader in your web browser.

The 2007-2008 Joint Study Journal is a thematic collection of articles relating to the use of form•Z and other digital tools. Below, the JS Journal is presented in two different ways: (1) The complete journal as a single document that can be simply viewed or downloaded. Once opened, you can start at the Table of Contents and branch to whichever article you are interested in. (2) Each article of the journal is presented as an independent document, which can again be viewed directly or downloaded.
