A Beginner’s Practical Guide to Textual Analysis Research: What It Is and How to Do It
Are you interested in textual analysis research but don’t know how to begin? Are you looking for a new way to analyze your qualitative survey data? If so, this session is for you. As a STEM librarian whose research background primarily focused on quantitative data, the presenter was left stumped when trying to analyze open-ended responses to survey and focus group questions. How can you recognize patterns and interpret textual responses of large surveys or small focus groups? How can you move beyond descriptive statistics to take your research to a new and different level? This presentation will answer those questions and more. After a brief lecture on the background of textual analysis attendees will learn how to use Voyant Tools, a free, web-based textual analysis tool, to support their library work and/or research. Designed to be a beginner’s practical guide to this type of work, attendees will be introduced to new concepts as well as new technology and will leave with the skills and knowledge to embark on their own textual analysis work.
