[Air-l] De-lurking. Need help with thesis format!

[Ronelle Lee Hutchinson]

Hi. I am 12 months away from submitting my PhD thesis. My research is a 
sociological analysis of the concept of community and how this can be 
applied to collectivities who communicate solely through CMC. Due to 
the nature of my research data, I am making a case to my university to 
submit my thesis as an interactive CD-ROM.  I have been asked by the 
doctoral examinations committee to formally request permission and 
justify why this is the most appropriate format for my thesis.

I was hoping that my AOIR colleagues may be able to assist me in 
providing some precedents from other universities of PhD's submitted in 
this or alternative formats.   Any suggestions, comments or ideas?

Thank you,
