Internet and Eating Disorders
by virodrig＠ncsu.edu 05 Apr '06

Hello, My name is Vanessa Rodriguez and I am a student at NC State University. I am doing research about youth's use of the Internet to create a subculture where Anorexia and Bulimia are seen as chosen, acceptable life styles as opposed to illnesses. I would really appreciate it, if those of you who know of helpful sources for my research to send me an e-mail with your information. Thank you very much for your time.

Barry's syllabi
by Barry Wellman 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Stephanie, et al, Who are syllabus hunting. Mine are always on line. Go to my website, click on courses and behold. Undergrad (2-term course with myself and Tracy Kennedy) and 1-term grad course. The syllabi are sociologically focused, of course, but not sociologically parochial.

Intro courses syllabi and texts
by stuszyn＠bgnet.bgsu.edu 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hello everyone. I'm trying to prepare a syllabus for a basic Introduction to Computer Mediated Communication course. I was wondering if anyone had any syllabi they would be willing to share to provide some inspiration. Also, I'd appreciate textbook recommendations if anyone's found a particulaly good intro book. Thanks! Stephanie Tuszynski ----- "Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value. Rather, it is one of the things that give value to survival." --C.S. Lewis.

critical software studies book, call for comments
by Greg Elmer 05 Apr '06

05 Apr '06

Hello AoIR-ers, I'm beginning to put together an edited collection of previously published essays on critical software studies. Topics to be addressed include open source software, free software, experimental or 'speculative' software, search engines/portals, privacy, the browser wars, software standards/governance, political economy of software preferences, etc. Please email me *offlist* with comments and feedback (suggestions for essays to include), and most importantly if you would adopt such a book for a course you teach (please provide as much detail as possible). Much appreciated. -Greg Greg Elmer, PhD Bell Globemedia Research Chair Director, Infoscape Research Lab, www.infoscapelab.ca Rogers Communications Centre/School of Radio-TV Arts Ryerson University 350 Victoria Street, Toronto, Ontario Canada M5B 2K3 416-979-5282 _______________________________________________ Co-Editor, Space and Culture: An International Journal of Social Spaces http://www.carleton.ca/space/

Hi there, If you're looking into different qualitative analysis tools I recommend visiting the overview written by Thomas Koenig at Loughborough University (http://www.lboro.ac.uk/research/mmethods/research/software/caqdas_compariso n.html). It compares cost, technical data and functionality of about a dozen packages, including TAMS and WeftQDA which are freeware. There are a couple of other reviews I know of which may be of interest to you - see the comment attached to this blog post- http://www.inspire-research.co.uk/2005/03/engaging-networks-for-sustainable. html Hope this is of use, Kind regards, Alison.
