Dear Videolib-ers, I am researching faculty use of and preferences for educational streaming video resources. For this project, I am going to conduct in-depth interviews (IDIs) with 20-24 instructors my institution (the University of Maryland) who use the educational streaming video resources we subscribe to. Before I submit anything to our IRB, I would like to test my interview guide, for which I need your help! If you know a professor who uses Films on Demand or an Alexander Street Press database extensively for teaching or research, and you would be willing to pretend to be that person for approximately 30 minutes so that I can "interview" you (probably via Google Hangouts or Skype), please let me know off-list by emailing me at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>! I'm mainly looking for feedback on the sequencing and phrasing of my questions, so 1-2 mock interviews should give me all the feedback I need.
Thanks for considering! Andy Horbal Head of Learning Commons 1101 McKeldin Library 7649 Library Ln. University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742 (301) 405-9227 [email protected]
VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
