Hi Nadia

Here are some books that I used recently and I found them useful, 
McKee is definitely a good start, also Markham & Baym as a good start.

research and the internet: advances in applied methods and research 
strategies. New York: Routledge.

and mixed-mode surveys: the tailored design method. Hoboken, NJ: Wiley
