[Air-L] Online Research Methods Texts

[Pam Brewer]

Alecea--

The following are some resources I found useful in my research.  A few 
of them don't target research in cyberspace specifically, but are still 
very useful as the concepts can be translated (Spinuzzi) for online 
research:

Creswell, J. W., & Plano Clark, V. L. (2007). Designing and Conducting 
Mixed Methods Research. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications.

Creswell, J. W. (1998). Qualitative inquiry and research design:  
Choosing among five traditions. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications.

Maczewski, M., Storey, M.-A., & Hoskins, M. (2004). Conducting 
congruent, ethical, qualitative research in Internet-mediated research 
environments. In E. A. Buchanan (Ed.), Readings in virtual research 
ethics:  Issues and controversies (pp. 62-79). Hershey, PA: Information 
Science Publishing.

Mann, C., & Stewart, F. (2000). Internet communication and qualitative 
research.  A handbook for researching online. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage.

Turney, L., & Pocknee, C. (2005). Virtual focus groups:  New frontiers 
in research. International Journal of Qualitative Methods, 4(2).

I have a list of some work but I would love r any suggestions or recommendations from all of you. I would also be willing to share the final list with any interested parties. Any suggestions?
