Lyn Richards: Home Page  Exit edition!!

Text Box: THIS WEBSITE IS ABOUT TO SELF-DESTRUCT! Why? Well, firstly, it’s getting way too much traffic for the wrong reasons. It brings to me a lot of researchers needing help that they should be able to find from the developers of their software—but can’t. Since I now don’t give that assistance (and don’t want to*) it’s much better if they pester the company till it does—or find software that’s better supported. The site also rewards me with a huge dump daily of junk mail, now hopelessly overloading my lynrichards.org domain. So that too is about to self-destruct. And secondly, more positively, this site now isn’t necessary for information and discussion about my publications. Sage Publications has launched www.methodspace.com, a site open to all for methods discussion. With the upcoming publication of the second edition of Handling Qualitative Data, (out later this year) and its extraordinary dedicated website of live methods reports, discussion will be directed to Methodspace. My professional lives at RMIT and in publications continue, of course. My personal email is changed. If you want to contact me personally, (except for software assistance!) please email lyn.richards@rmit.edu.au. * Being independent of QSR is great, but the tutorials I provided for NVivo are updated, so anyone upgrading that software can still have the benefit of free help.
