Hello Rebbecca,
To add to Ann Lewins very judicious comment on the use of NVivo Merge,
you could look at a recent text of mine that suggests a way of working
with lots of data and lots of people on the same project:
Bourdon, Sylvain (2002, May). The Integration of Qualitative Data
Analysis Software in Research Strategies: Resistances and Possibilities
[30 paragraphs]. Forum Qualitative Sozialforschung / Forum: Qualitative
Social Research [On-line Journal], 3(2). Available at:
http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-eng.htm
Cheers,
Sylvain
