ALA and ALCTS are committed to supporting our members, staff, and all librarians and library workers during these uncertain times. We will continue to offer online learning opportunities, and will do our best to accommodate the remote needs of our attendees. We will also continue to offer group registration, providing individual logins for each group member registered for ALCTS webinars. Please contact ALCTS with any questions or concerns.
Do you need feedback from stakeholders at your library? Are surveys not doing the job? Interviews are a more thorough and personal way to get actionable information, but they can be complicated and time-consuming. Learn all the steps needed to do successful interview-based research, including how to get IRB approval, choose interviewees, create questions, assemble recording and transcription tools, protect privacy, identify themes/codes, and reach conclusions you can do something with.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- decide when interviews would be better than surveys
- determine when Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval is needed and be able to complete the necessary steps to get it
- conduct successful interviews and turn them into discrete chunks of information that can be acted on
Who Should Attend
Library leadership and management, collections management, technical services, reference and user services all need to get feedback from patrons and stakeholders to be able to improve what they do.
Presenter
Dan Broadbent supports the research and teaching needs for students and professors at Brigham Young University in the fields of Physics, Astronomy, Math, Math Education, Computer Science, Statistics, Information Technology and Cybersecurity.
