Caroline, my doctoral study into the roles of e-texts in the humanities investigated some of these issues. I finished data-gathering and analysis, but this aspect of findings hasn't been published yet. I am still very curious about issues of academic tradition and change. My question for the list is a matter of interest and curiosity, not formal data-gathering. I hope that the list participants could provide a variety of answers and insights because Internet researchers may have different experiences from people who study religion and conduct part of their studies online, for example. I am coming to Urbana-Champaign to present some of my findings at Digital Humanities 07. Hopefully, we'll have a chance to continue this conversation.

An interesting question. Can you give us some context -- more that general curiosity -- for the questions. Do you have a particular incident that generates you question, or a research project? Is this information for a research study or for academic practice?
