Dear All,
There's a new version of NVivo, NVivo 2. It will ship by the end of July
and orders are being taken now.
NVivo 2 extends the software's support for qualitative questioning and its
flexible handling of data in sets.
*A new Show Tool gives a direct display of relations between any documents,
coding, attributes you're asking about. ("What nodes code this document?",
for example.) The Show Tool is designed to work with the Modeler - drag and
drop selected items to layered qualitative models linked live to the data.
*Two different ways of asking "what's going on" questions - assay and filter
- are now directly available (Assay to answer: "What proportion of these
documents are coded at this node?" Filter by to ask another question. ) .
*There's a new, simplified Search Tool with easy access to NVivo's searches
combining coding, text search and attributes. New ways to select exactly the
scope of a search and use the results.
*Links to web pages: NVivo's ability to hyperlink text to any external file
(audio, video etc.) is extended to web pages, so the rich text compound
documents made in the project can take you directly to the world wide web.
*Transporting, archiving and viewing of projects is made safer and easier. A
new single file backup and restore makes copies easily portable. Back up
often without risk and without wasting disk space, send the file with the
free no-save version of the software to supervisors, colleagues, clients for
viewing your project.
This is a revision that extends the existing software, but does not remove
any functions or alter basic processes. Projects created in the previous
version open directly in NVivo 2. No re-learning needed if you are
upgrading. .If you're new to the software with NVivo 2, there's new
documentation: full online Help extended, new tutorials and a new brief
Getting Started manual, which comes with a new edition of Using NVivo in
Qualitative Research .
QSR has responded to user feedback and requests with a number of specific
changes in interface, function and reporting. Please go to the website for
full details: demo version will be available there shortly.

Where to see it? Tom Richards teaches NVivo 2 at the University of Hawaii
today, and Lyn Richards at the University of Queensland. It will be
demonstrated in the Exhibits area of the World Congress of Sociology in
Brisbane this week.
QSR's forthcoming midyear training week and trainer training now has a
special significance - for the first time we will teach two new products, N6
