Errata

June 2007

Page 25:  line four after the heading “introduction” and after the word “them”, superscript reference should be 4 and the corresponding footnote reference at the base of the page should read Denzin NK & Lincoln YS (eds.) 2000 Handbook of Qualitative Research, Sage: California.

Page 29:  line six, right hand side column replace “it” with “is” so the line reads ‘de-identified data’, as its meaning is unclear.
