We are looking for contacts with other researchers working on computer
based support for qualitative research methods within the social sciences.
In our project ATLAS the main objectives are
   - the establishment of a large textbase thematically oriented to problems
     of the psychological consequences of technological change
   - the development of tools, which support the interpretation of
     text in a non-quantitative manner, permit collaborative work on a topic,
     visualize the structures of complex text-code interrelations, which are
     the result of applying techniques from Grounded Theory.
If you are interested, I will prepare a short discription of our project and
send it by e-mail. We would be very happy, if you tell us about your experience
s with computer based tools in the domain of social science research.
I am working on a survey about tools which are in use today, so any information
will be helpful.
Thank you very much in advance
- TM
