Overview of content

This is an attack in four reiterating phases: design, collect, analyze, and disseminate.  For each phase I provide a range of alternatives, mostly taken from major reference works that are widely respected.  They should be in libraries if you are near a university, and may be available through interlibrary loan or the CAF Virtual Library if you are not. Some of the content overlaps, and sometimes different disciplines (like anthropologists and sociologists) will describe similar techniques in different ways. I recommend skimming the whole digest first, then getting a sense of which approach is most likely to work for your research problem (this is an abductive process) then lining up the appropriate techniques for designing, collecting, and analyzing.
