Event: Workshops on working with qualitative and textual data

Posted on by dorner

The Library Data Services Program is offering a series of workshops on working with qualitative and textual data. Each workshop is designed to help novice learners get started with cleaning, organizing, analyzing, and presenting qualitative or textual data. Sessions include cleaning and coding qualitative data in MaxQDA and the open-source Taguette program, organizing and writing up research projects in Scrivener, and archiving qualitative data once a project has been completed. Each workshop is designed to act as a starting point for learning concepts and will familiarize attendees with additional resources for getting help.
