Results (1) • A wide variety of digital files • Heavy on multimedia • No systematic file storage • Lots of redundancy • More willing to share with on-campus colleagues
Results (2) • It is at least as easy to FIND digital resources from off-campus sources • But not super-easy • Not as easy to USE the resources in an on-line setting
Interview Notes • Share: • e-mail • Find: • meetings, conferences, Google search • Save: • Local: hard drive, usb, external hard drive • Remote: H-drive, dept. network share
Recommendations • E-mail • Simple, Natural, & Integrated • Searchable • Multimedia (PowerPoint, video, flash) • Sharing restrictions
