Cambridge, Massachusetts: MIT Press. {{avail-uw|1=https://canvas.uw.edu/files/90060231/download?download_frd=1}} 
: Note: Strongly focused on ethnographic interviews with tons of very specific details. Fantastic article on interviewing, although perhaps a bit weak on Internet-specific advice.

'''Alternate Accounts:'''

These texts are largely redundant to the required texts above but do provide a different perspective and examples:

*Salmons, Janet. 2014. Qualitative Online Interviews: Strategies, Design, and Skills. SAGE Publications. ''[Preface, TOC, and Chapter 1]'' {{avail-uw|1=https://canvas.uw.edu/files/90060232/download?download_frd=1}}
: This is a book that lays out what claims to be a comprehensive account to online interviewing. I have the book and am happy to loan my copy to anybody in the class that thinks this will be a core part of their research.
