An initial section surveys a dozen software packages such as Ethno, Ethnograph, and WordCruncher and discusses the application of Nudist and a package created at the University of Edinburgh for conceptual modeling. A middle section, "Implications for Research Practice," contains essays on integrating computing in methods courses; ethical issues and data protection; and methodological pitfalls such as reification. A final section, "Qualitative Knowledge and Computing" contains essays on ethnographic research, event structure analysis (by David Heise), and hypertext. A concluding essay by Michael Agar, "The Right Brain Strikes Back," presents personal experiences and a critical view of computing in qualitative research.Read More
