A two-part query: 1) I am re-visiting my literature review for my blogging-related PhD thesis/dissertation and I would like to make sure I have not missed anything important. I am particularly interested in qualitative approaches to blogging - especially interview-based work and in the study of personal/journal weblogs - sometimes dubbed lifelogs (as opposed to the study of weblogging for political, marketing or educational purposes). I will share what I have so far on the web and add to it whatever people send me off-list. Which brings me to the second question: 2) I would like to share what I have so far (192 references, in Endnote) and make it easy for future scholars to search and update it themselves, thus avoiding the fate of previous collections eg http://loisscheidt.com/linked/bibliographies/Weblog_and_Blog_Bibliography.pd... (Last Updated November 22, 2005) http://kairosnews.org/blogbib (Last updated 30 Sept 2006) and http://www.blogresearch.com/ref.htm (last updated 2007?) I would like suggestions about how best to do this. I tried to do this using Citeulike http://www.citeulike.org/user/davidbrake/tag/weblogs but its importing from Endnote appears to leave something to be desired as you will see if you look through the entries that result. Still, if you are thinking of sending me something take a look at the Citeulike list first and see if you see it (or something like it). Something database driven with each record a taggable entry would seem ideal but as it stands now the best I can offer would be that I could export my Endnote database to date as text into a wiki page. Anyone with better ideas (or who has had more success in exporting to Citeulike)? The only solution I will not entertain is one that would require me to re-type all of my Endnote entries by hand into a series of forms in order to get them into an online database! --- David Brake, Doctoral Student in Media and Communications, London School of Economics & Political Science <http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/media@lse/study/mPhilPhDMediaAndCommunicati...
