  2. HSLS MolBio Info Service Twitter/Facebook/Email May 2010-April 2011 37 workshops 579 attendees 15 licensed tools 9 protocol resources • 14 workshop ppts • 10licensed tool tutorials • 13 “how do I’s?” • 11 “other” classes

  3. ??QUESTION?? Do our patrons have any interest in the use of video tutorials & recorded workshops to supplement bioinformatics instruction?

  4. Survey Logistics • Survey Monkey • 10 questions • Distribution: • Email list = >1780 • Pitt & UPMC • Initial email + 1 reminder • Posted on website • Mentioned in 2 workshops • Available 10 days 117 responses ~6.5%

  5. InstructionalMethods Which methods are of interest? MOST likely to use Workshop 69.2% Live Webinar 24.8% 18.8% Recorded Webinar 69.2% 12.0% 25.6% Video Tutorial 51.3% 43.6%

  6. Watch Webinars? YES NO MAYBE LIVE, INTERACTIVE RECORDED 47.0% 23.9% 20.5% 6.0% 70.1% 32.5%

  11. Survey Comments (n=20) I think it is better to learn by example (i.e. video, hands on tutorial or face-to-face consult) rather than reading help documentation. Recorded webinars are a great idea as a supplement to the current workshops, which I am often unable to attend due to timing. I think it would be great to have step-by step video guides. I am learning a lot with face to face consultations and hands-on workshops. Keep up the good work.

  12. So what are wegoing to do? • Continue w/ current services • Record workshops • Create video instruction for licensed tool downloads • Offer video consults • Post “how to” video tutorials • Track usage

  13. Thanks for your attention! Carrie Iwema, PhD, MLS Information Specialist in Molecular Biology AnsumanChattopadhyay, PhD Head, Molecular Biology Information Service Health Sciences Library System University of Pittsburgh
