Selected Library Materials: Qualitative Research Methods

Please note: The resources that appear below are not intended to comprise an exhaustive collection of library materials about qualitative research design and methods. They are the readings that I selected for use with novice doctoral researchers during their first qualitative research methods course, used in combination with the open educational resources (OERs) also listed on this website. As students request additional information, and as I observe the patterns of their use and understanding of these readings,
I amend and append this list.
