For nonsociologists and for us, too, a couple of good easy to understand
resources that are NOT books:
First, William M.K. Trochim's excellent Center for Social Research
Methods
(http://www.socialresearchmethods.net/) and especially, there, his online
hypertextbook, The Knowledge Base (which can be purchased in print version
as well, and would be a good book choice)
Second, a page assembled by Gene Shackman:
http://gsociology.icaap.org/methods/
Both of these have many very useful pages and links, and both contain most,
if not all, of what Kathleen listed.
