Answer to Question 1

Both are nonrandom sampling techniques. Convenience selects any element that is convenient. Purposive uses many different methods to select elements that match
narrowly defined criteria.

Answer to Question 2

Primarily dissertations found in university library. Discuss with librarian as to other
avenues of search.
