[Air-L] Coding websites

[Jankowski]

Dear Philippa:

I am not aware of a coding system for categorizing websites 
**generally**, but there are several that have been used to code 
various features of websites (e.g., interactive functions, 
information provision, action features). You may wish to consult the 
methodology chapter and appendix in the following book, and the 
related publication website.
