User experience assessment using Flip cameras
May 20th, 2010 7:54 am | by Catherine Lavallee-Welch
A simple but effective idea from the Georgia Tech Libraries: give Flip cameras to members of their library student advisory board and have them record in small groups their experience using the library. They discovered issues with how their service desk was organized, graffiti issues in the carrels and unhelpful signage.
Definitely an idea to keep in mind as, at my library, we just made digital video cameras available for check-out.

As the first USF librarian at the Lakeland campus (now Polytechnic), I opened the USF Polytechnic Library in January 2007 and have developed its various services.
I've held positions as information broker, Internet consultant and academic librarian in Canada, the US and Europe.
A blogger since 2001, I've created and maintained several sites in, and outside, of the biblioblogosphere.
I'm active in SLA, and currently serve as on the boards of the Academic Division and the Florida-Caribbean Chapter.
