Community Survey--Why Not Take an Eclectic Approach?

Pisano, Vivian H.; Skidmore, Margaret

Wilson Library Bulletin, v53 n3 p250-53 Nov 1978

Results reveal why the questionnaire was inappropriate, why the random sample was not representative, and why the interviews posed conceptual problems. (VT)
