Conducting Research Surveys via E-mail and the Web
You won't find this very much on the web - a FREE book on conducting email and web surveying available from Rand Corp. While a few years dated the basic information is still good. Free only in PDF format though it may be better just to buy the whole thing in print form!

WebSM - Web Survey Methodology
This site's focus is pretty narrow - online surveying. But the depth of coverage is impressive. The site looks at many issues related to online survey research such as questionnaire design, issues of non-response, participant recruitment, offering incentives and much more. For academic researchers the best part of the site is the extensive bibliography for each category. While marketing practitioners will find an impressive listing and description of companies offering survey software. Both academics and practitioners will like the Guides, Standards and Best Practices area that includes privacy, security and ethical issues.
