Working with Time Series Data

Does anyone have a resource for understanding how to work with time series data? In particular, I'm looking for guidance on how to compare time series that have different observation periods/frequencies. (One series measured with daily frequency vs another with quarterly or annual data). Would it be appropriate to simply average daily frequencies to arrive at quarterly/annual frequencies? Is there a "best practice"

 

Thx
