This paper is intended as a practice oriented introduction to Internet mailinglists as research material for German researchers in Japanese Studies who have little previous experience with online material. After some general remarks about mailinglists they mention new opportunities as well as limitations when dealing with mailinglists as research sources and present some current approaches to mailinglist research, with a focus on examples from social and culture studies. This is an older document but still maintains some very pertinent points for doing research within mailinglist and Listservs®. Another excellent resource from the Virtual Chase is titled: Listserv Tips and Other Research Tricks and is available by clicking here.
