AV俱乐部

With support from a Strategic Initiatives proposal approved by the Provost鈥檚 Committee, AV俱乐部 has purchased a 4000-user license for qualitative data analysis software called NVivo Pro. In order to provide immediate access to the software, the Academic Technology Services (ATS) team in the Dal Libraries is doing an early release for faculty only. Support for the software will not be available during this early release.

NVivo Pro has tools for analyzing all forms of unstructured data:

搂聽 Work with text, audio, video, images, and spreadsheets

搂聽 Use querying tools including matrix coding queries

搂聽 Create project and concept maps to show associations in data

搂聽 Capture social media content for analysis using NCapture

In the coming months, the AV俱乐部 Libraries will be doing a full release of NVivo Pro. During the full release, the software will become available to AV俱乐部 students and staff as well. For those NVivo users who currently hold a personal license, at that time you will be able to migrate your content to the institution鈥檚 license.

Faculty can now download NVivo Pro from the . For more information about how to access this software, please contact support@dal.ca.

Thank you to the faculty members who brought the need for qualitative data analysis software to our attention, to the members of the AV俱乐部 Research Advisory Committee and others who supported the request for funding, and to the Provost鈥檚 Committee for supporting this initiative through the Strategic Initiatives Fund.
