Resources for the study of YouTube compiled by Dr. Strangelove.

• A database of over over 270 academic articles, many of which are freely available on the Internet. This bibliographic database can be searched via subject and author indexes. The entire contents of the database are also freely available in the YouTube Bibliography document.

• The Watching YouTube database documents selected articles, books, and other printed and electronic sources, including YouTube videos such as Mike Wesch’s An Anthropological Introduction to YouTube that are significant to the study of YouTube and online video.

• Statistics on the growth of YouTube and online video.

• Selected news items and articles from the world press.

Three ways to stay informed of new research:

1. Subscribe to the RSS feed.
2. Receive updates by Feedburner e-mail.
3. Be hip and get Twitter updates for all new entries to the YouTube Bibliography.

How does all this work?

When a significant academic article or book about YouTube or online video is discovered it is posted to the Watching YouTube blog. Once posted a notice is automatically sent via Twitter, RSS feed, and e-mail. At irregular intervals all new bibliographic findings are added to the YouTube Bibliography.

This is all done via an open source Wordpress blog which uses the highly flexible Atahualpa theme and a variety of applications called widgets. The YouTube Bibliography Project is also part of the Creative Commons. Tres cool n’est-ce pas?

What can you do to help?

If your research is not documented in the index, please send bibliographic details to Dr. Strangelove.
