This workbook provides a tour of the Stata software, an introduction to cross-sectional, time series, and panel data, and an introduction to a variety of models. I review models where the outcome is linear, binary, ordinal, categorical, and count. Additionally, I have an interpretation chapter on survival models. Each “Models” chapter has a similar organizational structure: about, estimated time, what is the model, how are models run in Stata, how do we interpret the model results, and a real-world example of model results in a Creative Commons licensed, peer-reviewed journal article. Additionally, mini-assignment instructions and a rubric are included so students can practice their interpretation skills.15342023-11-01T04:46:24Z2023-11-20T15:14:02ZReading Social Science Methods<img alt="Read more about Reading Social Science Methods" title="Reading Social Science Methods cover image" class="cover " width="845" height="1096" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTAyNDMsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--9788fb7312b07cf4b1563434e2522eed5d9645b9/Screenshot%202023-10-31%20at%2011.39.16%20PM.png" />Science has great potential to benefit society, but this potential comes with risks as well. Directed at introductory level social science and humanities majors, this textbook teaches the rules and limits of social science methods. Reisner starts from the assumption that it is not necessary to be able to do research to read and judge the soundness of research publications. The chapters guide students through an explicit set of rules for reading research articles developed from three common research methods: content analysis, survey research, and experimental method.15692024-01-14T05:28:30Z2024-01-14T05:28:30ZConducting Mixed-Methods Research: From Classical Social Sciences to the Age of Big Data and Analytics<img alt="Read more about Conducting Mixed-Methods Research: From Classical Social Sciences to the Age of Big Data and Analytics" title="Conducting Mixed-Methods Research: From Classical Social Sciences to the Age of Big Data and Analytics cover image" class="cover " width="646" height="846" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTA2NjAsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--ef9c9c63cfafe5e048fe9f3a561eb0bf6115f8c2/conducting.jpg" />Scholars in the social sciences are increasingly expected to incorporate both quantitative and qualitative techniques and methods into their research. The growth of “mixed-methods” research is evident in social science disciplines ranging from psychology and management to marketing and information systems. This book is designed to provide principles, strategies, and guidance specifically for researchers in these disciplines so that they can use mixed-methods research more effectively. In thirteen chapters, Conducting Mixed-Methods Research takes readers through the research process, from defining research questions to writing articles using a mixed-methods approach. For those who are well trained in either qualitative or quantitative methods, the book shows them how to think about the purposes of mixed-methods research, design mixed-methods studies, and develop meta-inferences by integrating findings from both methods. Throughout, the discussion is grounded in examples taken from published research, carefully chosen to highlight best practices, thus opening a window into a broad body of mixed-methods research applications.15872023-10-01T00:00:00Z2024-03-01T18:05:11ZHealth Sciences Collection Development: An Overview of Fundamental Knowledge and Practices - 2nd Edition<img alt="Read more about Health Sciences Collection Development: An Overview of Fundamental Knowledge and Practices - 2nd Edition" title="Health Sciences Collection Development: An Overview of Fundamental Knowledge and Practices - 2nd Edition cover image" class="cover " width="679" height="1024" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTExNTgsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--76d561bf6e6bdcd0d0776229f22672928c603cb5/Cov-Dev-2-option-1-679x1024.png" />This work was created by members of the Medical Library Association’s Collection Development Caucus to provide librarians with key concepts about health sciences collection development. The chapters provide an overview of the responsibilities and tasks involved in the development and management of health sciences collections; it is recommended that readers refer to the references and further reading sections in each chapter for a more detailed look at each topic. The first edition was published in 2019 and was updated with a second edition in 2023. This updated edition has a new section on unique collection genres; addresses Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility in collections; incorporates significant updates to and expansion of previous content; and includes a glossary. New additions to each chapter, as applicable, include key communities and online courses for professional development.15892024-03-03T21:04:56Z2024-03-03T21:04:56ZResearch Methods for the Social Sciences: An Introduction<img alt="Read more about Research Methods for the Social Sciences: An Introduction" title="Research Methods for the Social Sciences: An Introduction cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="525" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTExNzEsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--5c7ccc3fd07bdcefc09b27ff059ba8cf11dee386/JIBC-Book-Cover_RMFSS_09Mar-350x525.jpg" />This textbook provides a broad overview of research methods utilized in sociology.

As such, well-intended, collaborative efforts between higher education and PreK12 do not always result in creation of useful and reusable learning materials for PreK12 classrooms or effective, productive partnerships. Making Open Educational Resources with and for PreK12: A Collaboration Toolkit for Higher Education is a toolkit of instructional resources designed to support higher education personnel who wish to improve or build strong and generative collaborations between higher education and PreK12 educators. The toolkit aims to expand use and re-usability of PreK12-centric learning resources through informed practices regarding copyright, open-licensing, and accessibility and includes a variety of resources: videos, presentations, transcripts, activities, guides, assignments, and assessment tools.
