Ifechuba and Shoki, Part 4
Research Instruments
Four instruments suitable for survey research were designed to gather data. They were:
Questionnaire
Interview guide for book printers
Interview guide for optical disc publishers
Observation guide for bookshops
For the publishers, a 24–item questionnaire was designed containing ordinal, nominal, screener and other relevant question types. For the printers, who are generally not as literate as the publishers, a 19–item interview guide was designed while a 16–item interview guide was designed to collect data from publishers of optical discs. Observation was employed to examine the available electronic book products in bookshops. The observation guide contains a list of nine electronic book products.
