Hi Anne,
You might like to take a look at the work that is coming out of the CED
program at the University College of Cape Breton a particularly the book "A
Roundtable on CED", edited by Gertrude MacIntyre (conflict alert: I have a
paper in there) and published by UCCB Press.
Also, when I get my web-site transferred over, the work that we did with the
Centre for Community and Enterprise Networking at UCCB and the various
papers that came out of that work would probably be of interest.
