Hi, Additionally, you could also try Laura Gurak's chapter 'Internet Studies in the Twenty-First Century' in Gauntlett and Horsley (eds): Web.Studies, 2nd Edition (2004). The same book also has a chapter on methodological frameworks for studying the Web from Nina Wakeford. Ildiko

clarkne@appstate.edu 06. 02. 13. 3:24 >>> I have a student who is trying to do some background research into "the development of Internet Studies as a discipline." I first of all told her that Internet Studies probably doesn't warrant the term "discipline"

yet, but that's the sort of answer that doesn't help much. So, does anyone know of any resources/readings that detail how Internet Studies as a field (if it is such a thing yet) developed, and how Internet Studies programs came into being? Thanks, Norm Clark Appalachian State University (where we do have an Internet Studies major, but it's housed in Interdisciplinary Studies, so it doesn't really "count" in some folks eyes as a "real" major) _______________________________________________ The air-l@listserv.aoir.org mailing list is provided by the Association of Internet Researchers http://aoir.org Subscribe, change options or unsubscribe at: http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org Join the Association of Internet Researchers: http://www.aoir.org/
