We are excited to announce the development of two new resources for faculty and students that are interested in qualitative research methodology. Both the Qualitative Research Clearinghouse website and the Qualitative Research Listserv have been designed to be useful tools for individuals well versed in qualitative methods as well as for those who would like to learn more or even be introduced to this rich form of inquiry.

1.    The Qualitative research Clearinghouse website:  http://www.ehs.cmich.edu/qualitative/
This clearinghouse website presents a review of the disparate types of qualitative approaches, methods, and analysis strategies; links to funding and other web resources; a list of how-to references; a collection of published qualitative works; and will soon have a page dedicated to the use of the new NVivo 7 program (evolving from N6 and the NUD*IST family of programs).

  2.   The Qualitative Research LISTSERV

      The mission of this Listserv is to build a community of CMU faculty, staff, and students interested in teaching and conducting qualitative methods of inquiry and research. We see this forum as a place to bridge those with expertise to those beginning to learn about qualitative methods in a supportive fashion. We also see this forum as a means to stay up-to-date with the most cutting edge qualitative methods and to develop new methods of inquiry.
