Handbook of Research on New Literacies

by Julie Coiro (editor), Michele Knobel (Editor), Colin Lankshear (Editor)

Situated at the intersection of two of the most important areas in educational research today ― literacy and technology ― this handbook draws on the potential of each while carving out important new territory. It provides leadership for this newly emerging field, directing scholars to the major issues, theoretical perspectives, and interdisciplinary research pertaining to new literacies. Reviews of research are organized into six FEATURES The Handbook of Research on New Literacies is intended for the literacy research community, broadly conceived, including scholars and students from the traditional reading and writing research communities in education and educational psychology as well as those from information science, cognitive science, psychology, sociolinguistics, computer mediated communication, and other related areas that find literacy to be an important area of investigation.

Pretty repetitive in several places, but it's the most up-to-date New Literacy research. Review to come.
