There are many guides and handbooks for both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Many books on political science methodology are found in the JA 71 call number area. Most books on feminist research methods can be found in the HQ 1180 call number area. Both are located on the second floor, East, in Ellis Library.
Keep in mind that methodology books are very high use, so if our copy is checked out, request the book from ALL MERLIN or MOBIUS.
