[Air-l] suggestions for lurking researcher?

[Charles Ess]

Hi all,

One of my undergraduate students (and, indeed, for another class) would like
to research message boards (as a lurker - though I've apprised her of the
AoIR guidelines) to determine what relationship(s), if any, may exist
between amount/kinds of information under discussion and the emergence of
hierarchical / power structures.

I just know that there must be a thousand citations out there that she
should look at - if you have any to recommend, I'd be grateful if you could
forward those to me.

Many thanks!  And cheers,

Charles Ess
