[Air-L] List of Resources for Online Research.

[Alecea Standlee]

Hey all, 
Will your help I have compiled a list of works that deal with qualitative online research methods. I told a number of people I would post it to the listserv so here it is. Any additions or reviews is of course welcome! A few of your suggestions didn't make my final cut, not because they weren't great suggestions, but because of my specific methodological orientation and focus. So, if you want to share them with everyone else, go for it. I am also sharing a list of potential readings that don't necessarily focus directly on methods, but that I find useful.
