All, I am looking for a new (one) comprehensive text for an Internet Research Methods course, current title: Inquiry in Internet Communication. Here is the catalog description. "Examines the internet as both a site of and a tool of communication research. Special attention to legal and ethical concerns associated with internet communication research." This is an upper division 4 unit research methods course. I am currently using Hine's "Virtual Methods: Issues in Social Research on the Internet" which is fine but the research is a bit dated (ah, the hell of "everything is dated once it hits the page" for teaching internet/new media anything) and while I use workshops on specific research methods (interviewing, surveys, etc.) I am looking for something more textbook-like with a structured approach. It needs to include both qualitative and quantitative approaches. I get them out collecting and coding data for two projects per semester. Online resources, a convergence approach that includes other media, and a "tool box" theoretical/epistemological approach are a bonus. Lately I have noticed a few coming out, but wanted to tap the collective expertise of the list for some solid recommendations. Feel free to contact me off list, I will (as always) compile and post).
