Читать книгу The Research Experience - Ann Sloan Devlin - Страница 7

Acknowledgments

First, I would like to thank the wonderful team at SAGE and Leah Fargotstein, in particular. Without her encouragement, there would be no second edition. Leah was instrumental in identifying prerevision reviewers to provide direction for the second edition and also expertly guided me through the revision process. In addition, during the production process, Natasha Tiwari and Terri Lee Paulsen kept me on schedule and made sure the final product was visually appealing.

Several people at Connecticut College, where I teach, deserve special mention. Lisa Dowhan, the interlibrary loan supervisor, processed my requests for articles; research and instruction librarian Ashley Hanson, the library’s liaison to the Psychology Department, provided a perspective on the kinds of questions students ask about library materials used in research; and digital media specialist Michael Dreimiller reminded me how to prepare high-resolution graphics.

I would also like to thank my research methods students at Connecticut College. The material in this book is the foundation of my research methods class, and the students’ sense of accomplishment when they present their research projects at the end of the semester motivated me to share this material with others. Repeatedly students tell me how much they learned in the class and how often they refer to the material provided in the book. After the research methods course, the book continues to be a resource for upper-level individual study, an honors thesis, and graduate-level study.
