Until their NSF funding ran out in 2002, the University of Maryland sponsored a summer workshop called “Scientific Research on the Internet” (WEBuse Workshop at http://www.webuse.umd.edu/). I am a graduate student looking to find a similar professional-development (or graduate credit) research methods seminar as coursework towards my area of specialization – technology and rural communities. I talked to the former director of the WEBuse; but he was not aware of any similar “credentialed” opportunities and he acknowledged, there is still demand based on requests they still receive.  I have several questions: (1) Is anyone on the listserv aware of courses in the United States or online graduate courses in an English-speaking country dealing with Internet research methods? (2) I am also developing a basic e-research course for beginning undergraduate students and the professor I am working with (at another college), he and I have not had much luck finding a good primer for the course – need not be a textbook.  I have even reviewed some e-commerce marketing books without much success.  I would be interested in any suggestions.  The focus of the class will be “using the library (electronic resources) to do a basic social science undergraduate research paper.” The first time the course is offered, it will be delivered in a blended learning environment with the intention of porting most of the future sections completely online, the fastest growing source of their new students. (3) I’m putting together a summer reading list; I would be interested in any suggestions for myself regarding Internet research – especially -- qualitative methods for studying online discussion groups; studying online socio-emotional support groups; and cybersociology. In advance, thank you. R ------ Robin Y.
