Sage Research Methods : Foundations provides a concise introduction to methods and research terms for those who are new to research in general or to that particular method. The database offers a targeted list of entries to guide users through the content. The navigation menu puts the entry in context, so users can easily find more general topics related to a method or continue on to more specific sub-topics. Each entry will give users a general understanding of the topic and help them focus their search for additional content if they wish to dive deeper.

Ask Live operates during our opening hours at City campus, Christchurch. We are open 6 days.
