Jennifer,
Might I humbly suggest you take a look at Virtual Teams, the classic on this topic, which contains a whale of a lot of material on launching and coaching virtual teams? That I'm the author, with Jeff Stamps, shouldn't prejudice your decision :). You might also want to keep an eye on Endless Knots, my blog, where I post lots of material like this.
Meanwhile, thanks for the list.

Thanks Jessica for the fantastic suggestion. I'll definitely be checking it out myself (I love the whale of a lot of information description!).
I'd also invite you to post it over at my Biz Toolkit Blog at http://biztoolkit.blogspot.com. I just posted a top 2007 booklist over there for general/managerial clients last week.
Cheers,
Jenn Britton
