Several Announcements

Finally, finally a new entry in this Weblog.

First, a few announcements:

1. Last February (2008), we (Don Mellenbergh, David Hand and myself) have published a (hand-/text-) book on methodological advising. The full reference is: Adèr, H. J., G. J. Mellenbergh and D. J. Hand (2008). Advising on research methods: A consultant's companion. ISBN 978907941801-5. Huizen: Johannes van Kessel. The book has its own webpage: www.jvank.nl/ARMHome . It is also accessible via Google books (http://www.books.google.com/ ; type: `Advising on research methods' or something of the kind).
2. During a colloquium, also called `Advising on research methods', held in March 2007 in Amsterdam and sponsored by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), a masterclass was held during which participants of the colloquium functioned both as advisors and as clients. This masterclass was recorded and is now available on DVD (free of charge). It represents unique material of excellent quality. To access the colloquium website, click: http://www.knaw.nl/colloquia/advising/index.cfm . To order the DVD click `DVD of the consultation interviews'.
3. We are working on the proceedings of the above colloquium. If it becomes available, it will be announced here.
