ABSTRACT

While not an exhaustive bibliography of research techniques, this brief annotated list should provide the reader with a beginning set of resources for reading and doing research. Most of the listed texts have a bibliography of their own that may be used to expand the reader’s reference list on the specific topic. Annotations for many of the entries in this bibliography come directly from the publisher’s book source or from an online review of the text. The books that are referenced and summarized here in the Annotated Bibliography represent some of the more current and complete works in the specialized areas of research. The entries are divided into the following categories: Research Foundations, Behavioral Research, Library Research, Statistics and Data Analysis, Quantitative Methods, Qualitative Methods, Survey Research, Interview Research, Case Study Research, Reading and Writing Research Reports, Educational Research, Research Ethics, Action Research, and Dissertation Research.
