Subject:      Re: Participatory Action Research

To Yvonnna, et al. (on the matter of the Deaking tele-course):

I, too, was intrigued by the notion of participating in an international
seminar by INTERNET.  I lurk and sometimes particpate in numerous
lists, but have been somewhat frustrated from time to time by the
subject tides that seem to ebb and flow within the lists.  While the
moving of people and thoughts in and out, back and forth usually stimulates
my own thinking on a topic, I often long for an ever-so-slightly more
focused discourse.  The INTERNET seminar seemed to have promise.

I was ready to gather some colleagues here at Texas A&M, orient them to
the computer networks, and sign up.  Then I saw the price tag.  Since
roundtrip airfare to Deakin was NOT included in the tuition, I decided
mortgage payments had a greater priority than expanding my knowledge.

But then I had another thought:  Why does it need to cost so much?
Or using the stock line from the Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland movies--
"Let's clean out the barn and put on a show!"  (By the way, I wonder
how many people's network scruples would have been offended had the
cost been US$2 instead of US$2000--but that's another discussion.)

What if we organized an internet course--a university extension course, if you
will--with syllabus, readings, questions, assignments, etc. somewhat along
the lines of the Deakin proposal?  At this point, I care little about
credit hours, but paying a small extension fee would probably increase
my commitment (and particpation/completion chances) to the course.

I know that we have some of the leading folks in the field on this list.
Others of us are tinkering around the edges.  I should wager that between
us all, we could work out the details for a low-cost but very rewarding
seminar on some area of interest.  In fact, just studying the process
by which we get it all together (or fail to do so) would be fascinating to
me.

Anyone else think so?

Anyone?

Suggest you contact Paula Gunn Allen, Professor of Native American

several articles and books on her experiences.  I think she could
help you or point you in the right direction for information.

Subject:      Analysis of patient responses
Comments: To: qualrs-l%uga.BITNET@WUVMD.WUSTL.EDU

Help

I am attempting to analyze some open-ended responses and could use
suggestions on how to proceed.

First some basics.  We interviewed 120 patients and asked them to
describe meals or food combinations which had specific characteristics;
healthy, convenient, traditional, etc.  Then we asked them to describe
in their own words why that meal/combination of foods fit the
category.  My first instinct is to categorize their responses myself.
Certain patterns seem to be emerging, healthy=protein, for example.
But I would like to ask for responses as to the 'best' way to summarize
this information and the 'best' way to compare the responses of young
versus old subjects.  I have some likert scale stuff asking them to
rate these meals on a modified version of Peters, Rappaport, Huff-Corzinne,
Downey's scales of food categories.  And I have age, marital status,
state of origin, years of schooling, pirmary diagnosis, principal
meds, etc.

If this is too confused (owing to my own confusion) I would be happy
to expand exactly what data I have.  Any and all help greatly
appreciated.  Virtual dollars will be given to the best answer :-).

REGARDING software (MAC) for qualitative research. I recently stumbled across
what seems to be a quite powerful tool for
analyzing text bases, which could include
field notes, interview transcripts, archival stuff, etc. Better yet, it's
_FREEWARE_, seems to be quite stable, and I've found it useful for working
through some stuff I have laying around. It's called Freetext. I got it from
Compuserve (MACHYPER). It's by Mark Zimmerman, who has an Internet address:

zimm@alumni.caltech.edu

I know some of you will be interested.

From:          James Love
               Taxpayer Assets Project

RE:            Update on GPO WINDO legislation
               (HR 5983, successor to S. 2813 and HR 2772)

Date:          October 5, 1992


BACKGROUND

Congress is considering legislation that would provide the public
one-stop-shopping *online* access to federal information systems and
databases through the Government Printing Office (GPO).  The service,
which would *supplement* other agency and private sector information
products and services, would be priced at the *incremental cost of
dissemination* for most users, and be free to 1,400 federal depository
libraries.  A broad coalition of academic, library, journalist, citizen
and business groups support the legislation.

The original House bill was HR 2772, the GPO Wide Information Network
for Data Online (GPO WINDO), and the original Senate bill was S. 2813,
the GPO Gateway to Government Act.  A compromise bill, HR 5983 (which
has a number of concessions to House republicans)  was passed by the
House of Representatives on September 29, 1992.

     FMI:
     ====================================================
     fact sheets on S. 2813 and HR 2772,
     copies of S. 2813, HR 5983 or HR 5983, and
     a comparison between HR 5983 and HR 2772 and S 2813,
     can be obtained from:   tap@essential.org

     For additional information, contact the American
     Library Association at:  202/547-4440
     ====================================================

HR 5983 was scheduled for a Senate vote on friday, but it has since been
held off the Senate calendar by anonymous Senate republicans.  The
Senate leadership is trying to find who is holding the bill up, and why.
If the "holds" on the bill aren't resolved in a few days, the bill will
die, deferring action until next year at the earliest.


WHAT YOU CAN DO

If you support this important access broadening legislation, contact the
Senate leadership to urge action on the bill this year.  Since Congress
plans to adjourn this week, telephone calls are the preferred method for
making your views known.  [At this point, a single telephone call to the
right Senate office might make the difference.]

The current bill number and name is:

     HR 5983, the GPO Electronic Information Enhancement Act

Important telephone numbers to call are:

          SENATE

          Republican Leader
          Senator Robert J Dole (KA)         202/224-6521

          Assistant Republican Leader
          Senator Alan K. Simpson            202/224-3424

          Democratic Whip
          Senator Wendell H. Ford            202/224-4343


Any Senate office can be reached at:         202/224-3121

I  have complained  to  Wisconsin  about the  activities  of the  phantom
poster, Robert McElwaine, who regularly  sends his capitalised musings to
several lists  to which he is  not subscribed, and received  this answer.
The best solution seems to be to ignore him, and to ask listowners to ask
him to cease and desist.

UN-altered REPRODUCTION  and DISSEMINATION of this  IMPORTANT information
is ENCOURAGED - to coin a phrase.

//////////////Original message//////////////

     I would like to acknowledge receipt of your recent
complaint concerning materials that your Notes, Conference,
or Bulletin Board received from Mr. Robert McElwaine, one of
our students here at the University of Wisconsin - Eau
Claire.
    Mr. McElwaine's activities on the Internet closely
parallel similar activities here on campus in which he has
used every available public forum to promote his views.
Attempts to limit these activities have met with determined
and protracted resistance and litigation on his part based
upon his First Amendment rights under the United States
Constitution.  He contends that the readers of Conferences
or Bulletin Boards have no right to infringe on his right of
free expression.  However, he does acknowledge and accept
that the owners, moderators, or managers of Notes,
Conferences, or Bulletin Boards do have the right to remove
such material and to request that he not post any other
materials.  He has given assurances that upon receipt of
such a request that he will cease his activities.
          The fastest way to take care of the issue and to
prevent your Notes, Conference, or Bulletin Board from being
the recipient of additional communications from Mr.
McElwaine is to send him Email and request that he stop.
That Email should give your name and the name of the
Bulletin Board, Notes, or Conference you moderate or
control.  You should specifically state that you have the
authority to request that he cease and desist from any
further postings.  If you are not the administrator, then
you should forward this message to the individual who has
such authority and request that he/she contact Mr.
McElwaine.
     I would request that a copy of any correspondence with
Mr. McElwaine be also sent to me at CBRENNER@UWEC.EDU.   If,
after being requested to stop, he continues to send his
materials The University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire will take
steps to revoke his Internet privileges.
     On behalf of the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire I
would like to apologize for any inconvenience Mr. McElwaine
has caused and to thank you for helping us address the
problem.

Sincerely,

Charles J. Brenner, Director
Computing and Networking Services
