  • Conduct Web surveys

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference, 20 Jun 2007
By Larry Handlin "ArchPundit" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mail and Internet Surveys 2007: WITH New Internet, Visual, and Mixed-mode Guide: The Tailored Design Method (Hardcover)
Overall there appears to be some confusion over the purpose of the book, but if you are trying to improve responses and design of the actual instrument, this book is excellent. If you need help figuring out sampling and the such, you aren't ready for the book.

There are many people who do still use paper surveys and even mail them and given it's in the title, it's a bit surprising reviewers found this absurd.

Perhaps more absurd are the complaints relating to how unscientific the work is. Dillman has published a great deal in the scientific literature on how to improve the quality of the data through better visual design. That is not saying he does not understand the importance of sampling. It does indicate the book he is going to write is going to assume you have very basic understanding of survey methodology and you are looking to improve the usability of a survey with the assumption in mind.

Dillman's research provides excellent guidelines for creating visual surveys that are likely to improve the accuracy and reliability of the responses. If that's what you are looking for, it's the best book on the subject and is grounded in the literature.

If you need a book on sampling, come back to this book later.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic survey methods text, 6 July 2007
By R. Brower "doc student" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mail and Internet Surveys 2007: WITH New Internet, Visual, and Mixed-mode Guide: The Tailored Design Method (Hardcover)
For anyone who conducts online surveys, especially academic researchers, this is an essential text. Dillman's text is far superior to The Survey Kit by Arlene Fink. The only criticism I would offer is that Dillman assumes researchers are designing their own online surveys rather than using commercially available websites such as Survey Monkey. I would contend that the majority of survey research is conducted on commercial websites. Although these websites are changing rapidly, I would like Dillman to address this subject as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars great update, 8 Jun 2007
By grad student "grad student" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mail and Internet Surveys 2007: WITH New Internet, Visual, and Mixed-mode Guide: The Tailored Design Method (Hardcover)
The 2007 version is a great update and had a lot of useful information for anyone conducting survey research. The update includes internet and mixed mode information that is relevant to the resources being used today.
A straight read with good illustrations of main points.
