This textbook is being adopted for classroom use both in its electronic and print form throughout North America and in other parts of the world.  You are welcome to use it as a class text in either format under the following conditions:

    1. The electronic form is copyright by William Badke.  It cannot be sold or altered, nor can it be mounted directly on another website without the express permission of William Badke.  It constitutes a shorter version of the 2008 edition of the textbook.

    2. The paperback form is readily available and is recommended as the preferred choice for professors using Research Strategies as a classroom textbook.  For information on obtaining it in single or multiple copies, see   http://www.acts.twu.ca/lbr/papered.htm

    3. Recognize that, while the electronic edition is freely available to your students, thus making purchase of a paper edition an option rather than a necessity, this author derives no income from use of the electronic version either by licensing or advertising.

    4. Thus, I would ask you to do the following:

        a. Recommend that your students purchase the print edition: http://www.acts.twu.ca/lbr/papered.htm).

        b. Get your institutional bookstore to stock a few copies of the print edition.

        c. Add a couple of copies of the print edition to your library collection.

        d. Provide a link from the instructional portion of your library website to the online version.

        e. E-mail me if you wish (badke@twu.ca).  I appreciate knowing who is using the book and answering any questions you may have.


The more you're able to help me market the print edition, the more I'll be encouraged and enabled to maintain and update the website.  Students, techies though they may be, still appreciate print.  Should this site suddenly disappear (though that is not planned), they will still have a permanent record of the wonderful things they've learned by reading Research Strategies
