    discriminatory amendment.

    instead of [e-mail]. (BTW, 'majordomo' is the name of
    the automated mailing list software which is being used to maintain
    the appware-info list.)

    The list is maintained on parallel.com (198.80.0.2). An anonymous ftp
    site for AppWare-related software and information is also maintained
    at parallel.com; look in the /parallel/appware directory.

    Archives: Archives of the appware-info mailing list messages are
    available from the parallel.com anonymous ftp site. Archive files
    are created for each month, and are named used the form:

    disciplines and situations.

    As its name implies, action research is often a suitable research
    paradigm when both action outcomes and research outcomes are
    required.  It is usually (but perhaps not always) cyclic,
    participative, and qualitative.  This allows it to be responsive
    enough to use in field situations, and robust enough to achieve
    valid information and interpretations.

    Appropriate topics on arlist include (but are not limited to) --
    o  philosophical and methodological issues in action research
    o  specific action research methodologies and methods
    o  similar approaches such as soft systems methodology
    o  the use of action research for evaluation
    o  actual case studies of action research
    o  the use of action research methodologies for thesis research
    o  increasing the rigour of action research
