Alecea-- The following are some resources I found useful in my research. A few of them don't target research in cyberspace specifically, but are still very useful as the concepts can be translated (Spinuzzi) for online research: Creswell, J. W., & Plano Clark, V. L. (2007). Designing and Conducting Mixed Methods Research. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications. Creswell, J. W. (1998). Qualitative inquiry and research design: Choosing among five traditions.

Hey all, I am in the process of putting together a list of books and articles to be used as a resource for students interested in studying self-representation and community building in cyberspace using qualitative methods. I have a list of some work but I would love r any suggestions or recommendations from all of you. I would also be willing to share the final list with any interested parties. Any suggestions?
