This short pamphlet style book is aimed at the practitioner who wants to use research to make change at their own site. It is a short basic book that is aimed to help one think through the entire process. It is not aimed at research from an academic perspective, but rather, as the title states, doing research collaboratively, and in order to act on that research.
