Ann's reminder of the London conference brought me some messages from folk
regretting they were not "up to final report" stage with NVivo projects. I'm
sure the committee would agree: please *especially* if you are not, submit
an abstract!! The really beaut thing about last year's conference was that
in this amazing setting of a large group of colleagues who know the
software, you can share methods and argue issues in research process, rather
that presenting "final reports" (which all too often obscure the process in
favor of the neat outcome.) This is a conference about strategies, and it's
a precious opportunity to debate them without having to waste the first half
of your paper explaining the basics of the software you are talking about,
or listen to others doing so! (And also to meet the owners of all those
e-voices of researchers who've helped you get within reach of a final
report.)
um - back to writing my abstract :-)

> Sessions will deal with research issues and outcomes from analysis using
> QSR NUD*IST and NVivo. As at the first conference (February 1999) the
> event provides anopportunity to discuss methodology, share experience,
> develop research strategies, to report and critique the software's use in
> projects (and its effects on methods), consider teaching and supervision
> issues, and to debate and drive future directions. A special feature will
> be comparisons and debates on the latest developments in NUD*IST and NVivo
> and sessions on linking them with other software, (Decision Explorer,
> Inspiration, SPSS and other statistical packages) and the new techniques
> of integrating data of different types in substantive projects.

> SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS, posters and symposia is out now: deadline 31July.
> Abstracts of 200 words are invited for short papers or posters on
> experiences of using NVivo and NUD*IST in projects, the implications for
> methods, the processes of data handling and analysis, critical accounts of
> the challenges, problems and software performance experienced. Reports of
> research using NVivo's new capabilities (eg multimedia) are particularly
> invited. The deadline for scheduled symposia has now passed, but
> parallel sessions can still be timetabled. Offers to organise a parallel
> session should be accompanied by abstracts for 2 or 3 papers.
