Hi Nathan, I taught a social media methods course to masters and doctoral students this term, and I used these books: Ackland, Robert. (2013). Web social science: Concepts, data, and tools for social scientists in the digital age. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage. Hine, Christine (Ed.). (2005). Virtual methods: Issues in social research on the internet. Bloomsbury Academic. Rogers, Richard. (2013). Digital Methods. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press. Markham, Annette N. & Nancy Baym. (Eds.). (2009). Internet inquiry: Conversations about method. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage. McKee, Heidi A. & James E. Porter (Eds.). (2009). The ethics of internet research: A rhetorical, case-based process. Peter Lang. Weller, Katrin, Axel Bruns, Jean Burgess, Merja Mahrt & Cornelius Puschmann (Eds.). (2014). Twitter and society. Peter Lang. These provide a wide range of methods for internet research.

Being smart is no defense against being stupid."--Vincent White. _______________________________________________ The Air-L@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
