[Air-L] annotated bibliography of "internet studies" books?

[Chris Peterson]

Hi all —  

I'm teaching an undergraduate survey course in internet topics / networked cultures this spring at MIT. The students basically do a variety of selected readings on current/perennial topics and build toward posing a research question + writing a lengthy term paper. 

In the latter half of the course, I'm planning to require them to read a scholarly book in the domain of internet studies (very big tent/broadly defined) and give a presentation to the class. The goal is to get them to see how a scholar poses a research question and approaches it for a monograph. 

I'd love to be able to give them an annotated "internet studies" bibliography to help guide them toward selecting a book that might be of interest to them topically (and, ideally, would be a good cornerstone of whatever their final research project might be, either topically or methodologically). I was looking through Air-L archives, and I found some annotated bibliographies of academic articles in certain areas (e.g. ethnography), or email threads on specific topics where people recommend books on that topic. 

Is anyone aware of any reasonably comprehensive and up to date "internet studies" annotated bibliographies that exist out there in the world that I could link them to? I figured that if anyone would know, it would be AoIR —  like, I would imagine "any AoIR member's book(s)" would be a large (but not exhaustive) base of this bibliography. 

Best, 

—  Chris
