Abstract

Academic libraries are filled with niche support services that are unique to their primary clientele. While rarely taught to librarians in a formal academic setting, the support of Computer-Aided Qualitative Data Analysis Software is one such niche that appears in academic libraries across North America. But how common is it, and at what level is support offered amongst members of the Association of Research Libraries? This paper attempts to answer this question.
