Twenty five years ago, it didn't exist. Today, twenty million people worldwide are surfing the Net. Where Wizards Stay Up Late is the exciting story of the pioneers responsible for creating the most talked about, most influential, and most far-reaching communications breakthrough since the invention of the telephone. In the 1960's, when computers where regarded as mere giant calculators, J.C.R. Licklider at MIT saw them as the ultimate communications devices.
The collaborative effort of computer communications experts Matthias Schonlau, Ronald D. Fricker, Jr. and Marc N. Elliott, Conducting Research Surveys Via E-mail And The Web is a practical and accessible guide to applying the pervasiveness of the internet to the gathering of survey data in a much faster and significantly less expensive manner than traditional means of phone or mail communications. Yet online surveys have their own pitfalls that can adversely skew data results. Individual chapters cogently address how to take maximum advantage of the Internet while preserving data integrity.
