	%X The introduction of a multitude of new and interactive
e-commerce information technology (IT) artifacts has impacted
adoption research. Rather than solely functioning as productivity
tools, new IT artifacts assume the roles of interaction mediators and
social actors. This paper describes the varying roles assumed by IT
artifacts, and proposes and distinguishes between four distinct foci of
how the artifacts are evaluated. It further proposes a theoretical
model that maps the different views of IT artifacts to four distinct
types of evaluations.
