Setting up a Qualitative Data Management System
Jan Armstrong, Associate Professor
Department of Individual, Family and Community Education (IFCE)

Qualitative researchers collect a number of different kinds of data as they carry out their investigations: field notes, interview transcripts, journals, letters, photographs, maps, drawings, sketches, and documents. The focus of this interactive presentation will be on designing a qualitative data management system. I will offer guidelines for setting up a simple, flexible system that will help you organize all of your data and quickly locate specific items when you need them. Academic work and every day life are messy, paper-intensive enterprises, leaving many of us struggling to keep on top of ever-expanding piles of notes, handouts, records, articles, clippings and other paperwork. Qualitative data management principles can also help you organize household and work-related documents and media, freeing up time for more important and rewarding activities.

Hope to see you there!
