go to"Choosing a CAQDAS Software Package 5th Edition, July 2006." Then, create a post to your blog in which you have looked further into one CAQDAS and provided more information on it.

Storyspace:
I looked up storyspace. It said that it was designed especially for "creating large, complex, and challenging hypertexts."

It costs $295! That is sort of a lot. They are also charging $90 for an upgrade. I would curious to know what other people's reviews uncovered.

I picked this one because the name was most user friendly. I think this might be a better program for journalist or authors, but that is only because I haven't done any of this before. I might actually like using notecards for my thesis. The idea of learning how to USE this program is what is daunting and making the notecard option look so appealing. It is basically a VISUALIZATION tool.

I would venture to guess that the support on this isn't very good or geared toward researchers' needs. I clicked on the for research link to try to find specific information and description of Storyspace only to find a bunch of gobbletygook about translation.

helpful vocab for me:
