Hello everyone. I would hope that there are enough methodological issues to be addressed to merit having two panels for AoIR 4.0. In contrast to Nancy and Annette's session, my panel session will focus moreso (although not 100%) on quantitative methodological issues associated with Internet research. For example, one topic will address applying Don Dillman's 'tailored design' to Internet surveys with college student populations. Another topic to be discussed includes ways of collecting data via the Internet that may be missed with telephone surveys, and issues of nonresponse for sensitive questions in Internet surveys. Other topics will be included as abstracts are received. Hopefully this session will advance our understanding of various methodological issues as they are applied to Internet research. If anyone is still interested in submitting an abstract for this session, please do so by Tuesday. Please submit it to me directly at cotten@umbc.edu. Thanks.

Dear everybody, You are such a wonderful source of information, so now I wonder if anybody knows about any questionnaire that aims at investigating people's opinions on "fake" information on the net? The "fake" information maybe mirror sites where central information has been changed, or sites with information that looks sensible, but at closer inspection turns out not to be so. Note: We do not intend to cover by the questionnaire information about porn, hate-speech or similar sites. The questionnaire I am thinking about should cover made up information, for instance about history, medicine, or scientific knowledge. (Actually the type of information is not essential). We are also interested in questionnaires that might show people's attitudes towards free speech on the internet. What would be liked, disliked or even desired to be prohibited? If you have any knowledge about such inventories, surveys or questionnaires, please tell me! Interview guides would also be interesting. Thanks in advance Yvonne PS This is intended as part of a doctoral dissertation concerned with free speech on the internet. -- Yvonne Wærn, Professor em, PhD.
