New Book – Handling Qualitative Data

February 19, 2010

Handling Qualitative Data: A Practical Guide introduces students and practitioners to qualitative research in a uniquely practical manner. The book advocates a progressive accumulation of skills and understanding of methodological issues as they are needed. This enables the student to perform efficaciously from the start by immediately being in a position to handle, reflect upon and get results from, small amounts of data, giving them a launch pad to more complex endeavours.

The emphasis is on working with data and it covers all the processes of making, meeting, sorting, coding, documenting and exploring unstructured records.

Handling Qualitative Data: A Practical Guide can be found on the New Book shelf in Nestlé Library (call number H62 R53).
