Copies of the text "Research Methods for Communication Science" (Watt and van den Berg), originally published by Allyn & Bacon, are available on-line at http://www.llc.rpi.edu/web/ResearchMethodsForCommunicationScience/. It's aimed at advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students, and has been used at a number of universities. We have recovered the copyright for this book, and permission for individual use (single copy) is granted on the opening page. It might be useful to students as an on-line resource. I'd like to try an "open source" publishing experiment with this book, expanding it to include many more specialized topics, examples (hopefully, interactive), and teaching aids contributed by users. The model would be the one developed by open-source computing communities: a review board that accepts submissions from developers, verifies their utility and accuracy, and then makes them available to the user community. If anyone is interested in this experiment, please contact me off-list. ======================================================== James H.
