[Air-l] Barriers to participation?

20 Feb 2007

      Could anyone recommend any sources (particularly qualitative) exploring individual barriers to online participation?  I'm aware of Honnecke and Preece's work on lurkers, but I wonder if other kinds of barriers to participation have also been identified.

Thanks,

Angelina.
