Re: [Videolib] Surveys for Users of Library Video Collections?

[Deborah S Benrubi]

Scott, thanks for sharing your survey. I'd be interested in the results 
of the survey with your faculty, especially in their comments if any.

Hi Meghan,

I concur with deg that we need more data on specific user experiences 
with library based commercial video collections. IMHO Jane Otto's 2014 
C&RL article on the topic is a decent reference point (includes survey 
and qualitative focus group methodologies):


Otto, J. J. (2014). University Faculty Describe Their Use of Moving 
Images in Teaching and Learning and Their Perceptions of the Library’s 
Role in That Use. /College & Research Libraries/, /75/(2), 115-144.


Similarly, in Spring '15 to capture some case studies as part of a 
streaming task group initiative, I sent out a survey to known 
instructor users of our licensed streaming video content asking about 
specific pedagogical use cases, content value, streaming affordances, 
and technical experience with these materials.  I am not certain if it 
would be helpful for your question, but feel free to take a look at a 
public copy I made of this survey: 
http://z.umn.edu/publicvideousesurvey. Further, I would be happy to 
share some of the general results if anyone is interested.


Best,
Scott

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.

Thanks for the shout out Deg!
Methodology hopefully follows an honest analysis, including what do you really 
need to know, how much time you have to research your question, how likely it 
is someone will respond honestly to the questions (and via the methodology), 
how big is the population, how skilled are you at the methods you are 
considering, and I always ask - what will I do differently with the answers if 
I get them.  All of these questions can be complicated with students!  I'd be 
happy to share how we went about learning about students' needs - just drop me 
a line.

All good questions.

I would start with looking at the Kaltura “State of Video in Education 2016” 

You might also want to talk to Elisabeth Leonard at SAGE who has conducted some 
research on user expectations.

In general, this is an area that is sadly lacking in the professional lit.

I think you might find focus groups more beneficial than surveys, unless you 
can get such a large response that the data is crunchable.
