Smith, Christine Biship

Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, v3 n1 Jun 1997

Presents a summary review of the comparative literature on e-mail and "snail mail" surveys and a more extensive research review involving Web-based methods. Contrasts e-mail and Web-based survey techniques used in an ongoing study of the Web presence provider industry. Highlights practical issues of Web-surveying methods, such as programming pitfalls, sample-building, and incentives. (RS)
