Resources for Methods in Evaluation and Social Research

This page lists FREE resources for methods in evaluation and social research.  The focus is on "how-to" do evaluation research and the methods used: surveys, focus groups, sampling, interviews, and other methods.  Most of these links are to resources that can be read over the web.  A few, like the GAO books, are for books that can be sent away for, for free (if you live in the US), as well as read over the web.
 
Protecting the public   Visit here first!  This page has links to information about human research protection practices, research codes and guidelines, rights of the public, professional standards and ethics and others related to protection.  I hope the links listed here are very helpful, because this is stuff to which all researchers should pay serious attention.

I've started an Announcements for Sociology forum at Sociopranos. Anyone can post any annoucement about new conferences, books, research, websites, jobs, funding, reports, data, etc., that may be of interest to sociologists or any other social scientists. I'll start a new thread every month. See the press release forum   http://www.sociopranos.com/forums/forum-view.asp?forumid=11   thread labeled "July 2004 sociology announcements".
