Drawing on a range of sources, this article examines patterns in the adoption, appropriation, and use of qualitative analysis software (or CAQDAS—Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software) in the United Kingdom. It is argued that the take-up and use of CAQDAS, representations of computerassisted as opposed to manual analysis, and certainty about the utility of CAQDAS, are related to user generation. The changing composition of the user base for CAQDAS programs is also discussed.

Key Words: qualitative analysis software • CAQDAS • technology diffusion
