Two good sources are Steven G. Jones, Virtual Culture and Marc Smith and Peter Kollock, Communities in Cyberspace. There are a lot of citations in these two books that can keep your student going from there. There are also several online journals, but I cannot remember their names right now.

Hi all,
One of my undergraduate students (and, indeed, for another class) would like to research message boards (as a lurker - though I've apprised her of the AoIR guidelines) to determine what relationship(s), if any, may exist between amount/kinds of information under discussion and the emergence of hierarchical / power structures.
I just know that there must be a thousand citations out there that she should look at - if you have any to recommend, I'd be grateful if you could forward those to me.
Many thanks! And cheers,
Charles Ess
