Hi Ashley, Marilou and AoIR, Here's an interesting book on Field Notes - http://www.amazon.com/Fieldnotes-Makings-Anthropology-Roger-Sanjek/dp/080149... - which I may add to the subjects below. And World University & School, (like Wikipedia with MIT Open Course Ware), has a number of Ethnography & Anthropology, related, wiki subjects, for sharing of teaching and learning resources, including - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Anthropology http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Ethnography http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Folklore_-_Ethnology I'm also curious to explore how building virtual worlds, such as in the 3-D virtual world of ScienceSim, for example, can be made easy and helpful for anthropologists. I'm planning to build a virtual Harbin Hot Springs, as virtual, ethnographic field site, for an actual / virtual comparative ethnographic book about Harbin which I'm writing. Such virtual worlds allow for group text chat (where one can save the transcripts) as well as group voice chat, for example. Here are some thoughts from my blog about what I'm calling ethno-wiki-virtual-world-graphy - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/ethno-wiki-virtual-world-grap... - as a novel form of ethnographic practice, involving virtual worlds. (See also the entries on virtual Harbin, as well). Let's converse further about this. Best wishes, Scott http://scottmacleod.com On Fri, Feb 17, 2012 at 4:04 PM, Marilou Polymeropoulou <m.polymeropoulou@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Ashley,
I opted to use a private blog which I called e-Fieldnotes. Every conversation with the same person goes to a post, events, videos, other links etc have their own place as well. No one has access except from me and I can access it from wherever I want (I'm conducting online and multi-sited ethnography at the same time so it's very handy). It's also really easy to search by keyword - something which will be handy when I'll be doing the writing up of my dissertation.
Hope that helps.
All the best,

Hi all,
Does anyone have a recommendation for software to use for online ethnography? I'm looking for something to organize artifacts from a variety of sources, including websites, tumblrs, forums, tweets, interviews, etc. I don't necessarily need the software to help me analyze data, but need something to help manage artifacts from a variety of sources. I've been following the discussion of how best to archive websites, but I was wondering if there might be software that can integrate data from multiple platforms. I'm trying to construct an archive of the online communication of a particular community that uses multiple platforms.
Any help would be much appreciated. =)
-Ashley
