Hello all I will try to help a little most just a net user and reader of the
books by the scholars on this list.

Add to the list these:

Self-help computer press which could do into your manuals category. Lots of
web pages are about how to do something with a computer.

Also the rising e-commerce means you need  a sales catalogue and
advertisement category.

You will need an adults section meaning pornography.

You might need a Virtual: something category for games etc.

What's a friend's list a friend catalogue?

Subject: [Air-L] "genres" in online reading

Good evening all,

I am forwarding a query from some colleagues at Michigan State University
who are trying to identify "genres" of online information that respondents
read. This question piqued an interest of my own.

Does anyone currently know of any inventories, or previous research,
literature reviews, etc. that deals with genre of Internet resources. More
specifics are available below.

Thank you all in advance.
-Ian

Hey there,
Hope you do not mind the interruption, but there it is. I need some help.

I am building a history of personal literacy practices survey for my
dissertation and I want to have online reading represented. I have a
question about what kinds (you can read genre) of standard texts and
graphica (comics/graphic novels) does the respondent read - see the list
below.

Have you ever seen this kind of genre list for online reading? it seems I
would need to include a different list ...??? Help.

Laura

o   Fiction

o   Current affairs or history

o   Historical fiction

o   Inspiration or religion

o   Science or social science

o   Biography/memoir

o   Reference, such as encyclopedias or dictionaries

o   Manuals for cooking, operating, repairing, or building

o   Poetry

Other type of books?
