Wow. So there's a lot here - are you asking for purely written books or are websites OK?
First, look in your local bookstore! That being said, Amazon has a ton (these are ones I've read):
Gar Alperovitz - America Beyond Capitalism
William Whyte - Making Mondragon
Marina Sitrin - Horizontalism
Frank T Adams - Putting Democracy to Work
Encrico Masseti - Coop: Made in the USA
Seymour Melman - After Capitalism: From Managerialism to Workplace Democracy
David Schweickart - After Capitalism
Also, take a look at this PDF on Tech Worker coops which I contributed to.
Amazon has a bunch I haven't read.
Websites (which list quite a few books/articles relevant here):
http://usworker.coop/education
http://usworker.coop/faceted_search/
http://www.american.coop/
http://american.coop/node/119
http://www.geo.coop/
http://www.geo.coop/replication-of-arizmendi
And finally, the article that got me started on the road to cooperating:
A Cooperative Manifesto by Tim Huet.
Films - there are a lot, but the only ones that are easy to get a hold of are:
The Take
Capitalism: A Love Story - though this only has a small portion on coops and some more in the extras
Some More:
This Way Out
Shift Change - not out yet but based on the trailer it looks off the hook.
Argentina Turning Around
Oh so you’re not even aware of the history of the term you claim to know anything about.
Sure, you can start here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here.
Let me know when you finish.
I'm not out of points. You need to read more. There's plenty of places to start. Here's a book
Beyond that you can google.
Have you ever heard of Mondragon?
It's the world's largest network of worker owned, democratically controlled businesses, a couple hundred associated cooperatives, with over 80,000 worker members controlling the companies through the principle of one person, one vote.
Whenever a millionaire/billionaire IAMA comes up, I always share this info in the hope that they will become interested in and support the cooperative movement. I think that these cooperatives give the lie to a lot of ideology/mythology that emphasizes the unique exceptionalism of the elite controlling class, and point the way to how a more balanced, equitable, healthy and humane world economy could be organized. I think it's also pretty urgent, considering the trajectory our species is on.
A really good book on the subject of Mondragon is
Making Mondragon: the growth and dynamics of the worker cooperative complex
