Negative Positive
Title: Survey Research and the World Wide Web
Review: This is a disappointing book for a book with a good title. For my interest it was far too basic and provided little new information. It does not provide much that helps evaluate the value of www surveys, does not give any idea of the wide range of types of www surveys and gives no indication of what software and hardware is required. The form of www survey that it describes is the most basic form that really does not extend beyon simple HTML forms and certainly does not represent the potential of these surveys demonstrate the range of things that can be achieved with them. Nor does it provide an adequate account of the dangers of www surveys or solutions to the potential problems The book would be useful to the absolute novice but beyond this it is not very helpful.
Is the review positive or negative?
