FORTHCOMING EVENTS
Most events are held at University of Surrey, GUILDFORD, unless

stated. see http://caqdas.soc.surrey.ac.uk/courses.html
SEMINAR PROGRAMME: (places are free but limited seating may mean they
have
to be allocated)
24 May 2000 2pm: Alan Cartwright is beta-testing a new multi-media
software
CISAID. He will demonstrate the working software
and take part in discussion about its applications. Alan describes the
software thus:
"CISAID has been designed from the bottom up for the analysis of
Dialogues
and conversations. It also has a lot of features designed to enhance
sequential analysis of relationships. It is quite clearly focused on the
assumption that qualitative and quantitative approaches are
complementary
but that all analysis should be closely linked to the source data.
Consequently, the user is rarely more than one mouse click away from the
original data-sound, video or text" venue to be announced (Central
London,
or University of Surrey)
29 September 2000 (early afternoon timing to be confirmed )at Tavistock
Institute, LONDON.
Lyn Richards and Tom Richards of QSR will demonstrate and discuss
differences between latest versions of the two QSR software packages,
and the methodological changes they are part of:
"NVivo and NUD*IST?: developing software for evolving methods and new
possibilities."
(This seminar precedes the opening session of the conference being run
"Strategies in Qualitative Research :Issues and results from analysis
using QSR NVivo and NUD*IST" by the Institute of Education, University

London)
