AoIR List of Internet Research Lists
http://www.aoir.org/list.php

A rather selfexplanatory title there: a list of internet research related mailinglists. Hosted by the Association of Internet Researchers.

Bibliography on Chat Communication
http://www.chat-bibliography.de/

The subject of this bibliography are contributions on Computer-Mediated Communication, that deal with communication in webchats and IRC (partially also MUDs and MOOs) under the perspective of linguistics, communication research and/or social sciences. (Note: very extensive site, both online and offline sources.)

Brian Alexander's Cybercultures Site
http://www.centenary.edu/~balexand/cyberculture/

An interesting site about a course in cyberculture, featuring a resources section and an extensive course program.

CMC Studies Center
http://www.december.com/cmc/study/center.html

This Web site is dedicated to serving the needs of researchers, students, teachers, and practitioners interested in the study of human communication via computers. This field of study is called Computer-Mediated Communication (CMC). People interested in CMC study a range of phenomena--from the dynamics of group communication in Usenet news articles to how people use hypertext to shape meaning.

Center for Digital Discourse and Culture
http://www.cddc.vt.edu

The Center for Digital Discourse and Culture (CDDC) is a new college-level center at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in the College of Arts and Sciences. Working with faculty in the Virginia Tech Cyberschool, the CDDC provides one of the world's first university based digital points- of-publication for new forms of scholarly communication, academic research, and cultural analysis. At the same time, it supports the continuation of traditional research practices, including scholarly peer review, academic freedom, network formation, and intellectual experimentation. Our aim is to be open to all forms of cultural, ideological, methodological, and scientific discourse, while encouraging diversity, interdisciplinarity, and academic excellence.

Cyber-Anthropology Project
http://casnws.scw.vu.nl/cap/index.htm

The Cyber-Anthropology Project is an initiative of Dutch students and scholars of the Department of Cultural Anthropology of the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam. Our objective is to get people with an interest in the combined fields of anthropology and the internet in contact with each other to exchange experiences and resources. On this website we will try to build up a resource of helpful links to both on-line articles and books as to 'conventional' libraries we found useful in our research.

CyberReader 2/e
http://www.abacon.com/vitanza/cyber/

[T]he World Wide Web site that has been designed to complement and supplement CyberReader 2/e--the printed anthology of readings on the new technologies and their impact on social and individual identities. While the focus of the papertext anthology is specifically on introducing students to Cyberspace and Virtual Reality and their impact on society, the focus of the webtext--this very site--is on introducing students to conducting research on the Net and the WWW, the world's largest library! The book and this site invite and guide students to think critically and yet serendipitously about this library.

Cyberanthropology
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/5433/CyberAntropology.htm

An index site in Italian. Never mind the Italian ;-) the links are in universally understandable HTML and point mostly to English sites and papers.

Cyberculture@internet.uqam.ca
http://www.unites.uqam.ca/cyberculture/

Extensive site in French. Never mind the French ;-) Warning, IE only!

Cyberpsychology at Nottingham Trent University
http://ess.ntu.ac.uk/miller/cyberpsych/

This page has links to a number of papers by Hugh Miller and Jill Arnold, of the Department of Social Sciences at Nottingham Trent University, about identity and Web pages. We've also included links to a number of other sites that we've found useful and interesting.

Cyberstudies Links
http://nimbus.temple.edu/~jvaughn/csl/

An extensive site maintained by Jennifer Vaughn Trias. Lots of articles, papers and other assorted links.

EFF "Net Culture & Cyber-Anthropology" Archive
http://www.eff.org/Net_culture/

The Electronic Frontier Foundation's "Net Culture & Cyber-Anthropology" archive is a wonderful place to dig around for early writings about net.culture, net.history and other things 'cyber'. I'm under the impression it's not really being updated anymore, but what's there is a pretty neat collection anyway.

Espen's Page
http://www.angelfire.com/la/esst/ec.html

Collection of links and slightly annotated bibliography.

Gender, Race and Ethnicity in Media
http://www.uiowa.edu/~commstud/resources/GenderMedia/cyber.html

Resources site for the dept. of Communication Studies at the University of Iowa. Good collection of links, from cybernetics, cyborgs and hyperspace to "digital people," virtual realities and postmodernism.

Gender, Sex and the Web
http://www.newcastle.edu.au/discipline/sociol-anthrop/staff/kibbymarj/gender.html

Marj Kibby's very useful collection of links and articles.

Masculinity and Representation
http://www.newcastle.edu.au/discipline/sociol-anthrop/staff/kibbymarj/masculine.html

Another of Marj Kibby's collections.

Media and Communication Studies Site
http://www.aber.ac.uk/media/index.html

The MCS (pronounced 'mix') site is a British-based gateway to Web resources useful in the academic study of media and communication. It was established in Spring 1995 and is being developed by Dr Daniel Chandler, lecturer at the Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies in the University of Wales, Aberystwyth (UWA). It is 'British- based' firstly in that it is produced in Wales and secondly in that it is intended to give priority to issues of interest to both British scholars in the field and to others who are interested in media in the UK. This will become more apparent as such resources increase on the Web. There is no intentional orientation towards either cultural studies or to social science: the intention is to represent all relevant approaches.

Net-Life Resources
http://www.informatik.umu.se/nlrg/nlr.html

This is a list of references to papers, book, journals, magazines, sites, conferences and mailing lists that the Net-Life Research Group (and friends) have found interesting and appropriate for this forum. Please note that interesting not necessarily means that we agree with the author(s).

Netzwissenschaft
http://netzwissenschaft.com/index.html

netzwissenschaft.de is mapping the emerging infrastructures of all (Inter)net research endeavours. net.SCIENCE as an anthropology of connectivity is trying to overcome the constraints of specialist method transfers on net matters. The protuberance of technical networks necessitates a professionalization of human net knowledge. Neither the isolation of concepts as in basic research nor the encapsulation of processes as in applied sciences will ever be able to adequately describe the complex autopoiesis of networks. net.SCIENCE is undoubtedly developing into a scienza nuova of its own right. (Note: Research Essays, net.Researchers)

Online Community Resources
http://www.fullcirc.com/commresources.htm

Full Circle Associates' Online Community Resources. Pretty much what the title suggests.

Popcultures.com
http://www.popcultures.com/

"Sarah Zupko's Cultural Studies Center." A very large and well organized site with a lot of links. Highly recommendable.

Psychology of Cyberspace
http://www.rider.edu/users/suler/psycyber/psycyber.html

The purpose of this online hypertext book (web site) is to explore the psychological dimensions of environments created by computers and online networks. It is intended as an evolving conceptual framework for understanding the various psychological components of cyberspace and how people react to and behave within it. This framework is the basis for my ongoing research on what I call "the psychology of cyberspace" - or simply "cyberpsychology." I hope it will serve as a useful framework for other researchers as well.

Resource Center for Cyberculture Studies
http://www.com.washington.edu/rccs/

The Resource Center for Cyberculture Studies is an online, not-for-profit organization whose purpose is to research, study, teach, support, and create diverse and dynamic elements of cyberculture. Collaborative in nature, RCCS seeks to establish and support ongoing conversations about the emerging field, to foster a community of students, scholars, teachers, explorers, and builders of cyberculture, and to showcase various models, works-in-progress, and on- line projects. Currently, the site contains a collection of scholarly resources, including university-level courses in cyberculture, events and conferences, an extensive annotated bibliography, and two full-length book reviews each month. During the 1998-1999 academic year, RCCS sponsored the Cyberculture Working Group, a collection of University of Maryland and neighboring graduate students and faculty members from across the disciplines interested in exploring cyberculture through a series of symposia, workshops, and community service projects. Finally, RCCS maintains cyberculture-announce, a low volume announcement list for RCCS events and updates.

Loads of relevant links, but the page is an example of how form can cramp usability.

Voice of the Shuttle
http://vos.ucsb.edu/index.asp

If Michel Foucault wrote about The Order of Things, then VoS may be said to be about "the ordering of things"—the ceaseless reconfiguration of humanities knowledge assisted by the new technologies of dynamic information. (Note: Anthropology section, Cyberculture section, Gender Studies section)

When Harry@geocities.com
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Olympus/5791/vrfhome.html

The full title of this page is: "When Harry@geocities.com meets Sally@hotmail.com: Communities and Relationships via CMC." The layout is horrible, but it's an interesting attempt at organising the data in an accessible form. Still, a lot of interesting material there.
