Hi,
Have you ever ran a course on secondary analysis? Can you offer useful
suggestions on this topic?
I plan a graduate course on this topic in the coming academic year. The
general idea of the course is to teach students the art of locating,
retrieving, analyzing data from data banks. Our university is subscribed to
the Israeli data bank at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem. This source is
a member in the ICPSR. The students are mostly computer fricks, with enough
interest in running all kinds of searches and data analysis. They have no
experience, however in any other activity than interactive use of SPSS.
Specifically,
1. Any course outlines and bibliographies will be appreciated. All I got are
books by Hyman (1977), Hakim (1982), Kiecolt (1985), and Dale et al (1988).
Good and updated reviews are very much needed.
2. Manuals on remote searches (Remote SPIRES) may be very helpful.
3. Any other ideas will be appreciated. This may include personal experience
in DOING secondary analysis, not just teaching it.
