This edited volume is an excellent supplementary text for a variety of advanced undergraduate and graduate courses such as Internet Research, Research Methods, Qualitative Research Methods, and Computer-Mediated Communication in the departments of communication, media studies, sociology, and anthropology. It will assist new scholars as well as seasoned practitioners in this arena make informed choices in how they conduct inquiry.
One of the best overviews of the particularities of internet research I have seen, that is clear and accessible to students of all levels.
A useful resource for people considering using the Internet in their research
I have recieved the book and like the contents and structure. Unfortunately due to conflicts this course has been canceled for Spring 2011 but all being well I hope to teach it in Fall 2011.
Very interesting book but not really suited for a Masters course.
I would still recommend it as supplemental reading.
This will be an invaluable resource for the appropriate methods section of the course. Clearly written and accessible for undergraduates.
In my opinion, one of the best texts available for those undertaking internet research from undergraduate through to postgraduate study. Excellent
