Nvivo; software for qualitative data analysis

Hey folks,

Today I went to the second UBC Library Research Commons workshop on using NVivo; this is a program used for qualitative data analysis. Essentially, if you are going to be using qualitative data, this is the software that will help you organize and manage it all. When I gave my presentation in class, I had only a vague idea of how I might practically analyze the PDF files I will be working on; I had imagined a series of Excel files and loads of notes!  I now know more about the actual nuts and bolts of managing qualitative data and, as many of you guys mentioned that you’d be using interviews and/or surveys in your research, I think it would be useful to become familiar with this amazingly powerful tool.

There doesn’t seem to be another workshop scheduled for a while, but you can see here for more details and to book a 1-on-1 consultation on how to use the software.
