Data in the spotlight: Qualitative and mixed methods data

Did you know that qualitative and mixed methods data can be accessed for research?

The UK Data Service provides access to a range of qualitative and mixed-methods data, including ethnographic data and field notes, images, oral history transcripts, and essay responses. This workshop will help you get started searching for qualitative and mixed methods data with new search tools, like QualiBank, and help you quickly navigate through datasets to see if it's the right data for your project.

This free introductory workshop is intended for anyone who wants to learn about the qualitative or mixed-methods data available from the UK Data Service.

The workshop will cover:

• the types of qualitative data available from the UK Data Service
• a short case study exemplifying how qualitative data has been used
• 3 key issues to consider when using searching for qualitative data
• how to access the data and getting further help.
