Recommendation
Like the best travel guides, this user-friendly manual offers key information as it entertains. Qualitative-research consultants Jennifer Dale and Susan Abbott provide practical tips, case histories and an illuminating examination of methodologies for managing online qualitative research. They assume you can already handle the related analytical challenges, so they focus on the nuts and bolts of conducting the research. The authors could have paid more attention to potential technological glitches and to how written responses differ from spoken answers. That aside, getAbstract recommends this manual’s guidance to anyone doing online research. If that’s your purpose, this is your book.
