I would recommend checking out “the Handbook of Qualitative Research,” if we have it
here.
The following references are from my methodology literature review for my
dissertation. I’ll send you a copy of that – it’s pretty straightforward (and a useful
introduction to what I think qualitative research should be) – although there is a
long section in the middle about annotation that has little to do with your research.
