Hi all,

For the last two months, I've been compiling a semi-comprehensive 
bibliography of academic research on LJ, which I am happy to say is now 
live:

http://www.tiara.org/lj_bib.html

Please email me with additions, suggestions, and changes. I hope this 
will be a helpful resource to the community. LJ is a fascinating site 
and deserves more academic attention :)

Best,
Alice

hey all,

this might have come up before so pardon me if this is repetitive.

I am interested in doing a content analysis of texts within an email 
archive. and I was wondering how to deal with IRB issues in this case.
specifically, I am focusing on the text and not the authors. if I did 
need informed consent its seems impractical to get given the number 
of participants (several hundred) and age (over 5 years) of some of 
the emails. what should I do in that case?
also, what would be the approach if the archive is available publicly 
or if its private?
finally, are there any other major IRB requirements that I should 
consider in this type of exercise?

thanks
Dhanaraj

Thanks for sharing, Alice. 've nothing to add but wanted to say how
delighted I am to see that so many items on your list. All too often, LJ gets
treated as the poor cousin of the blogosphere.
