PARTICIPATORY DESIGN
1. Where did you get the idea for your research project?2. How did you get started?3. The last two or three times you have been able to
work on it, what have you done?4. What has been easiest about doing the project?5. What has been hardest?6. Have you been able to work on this project in a
sustained way?7. What library resources have you used on this
project? Did you use those resources online or in a library facility?
Similarities and differences
Importance of the libraries Same
High demand for books and online resources
Reliance on getting info from other libraries (ILL, formal and informal contacts, physical visits)
Different Local needs for added services beyond
content
Using their own library in person Same
Faculty are not there very much But they still have strong opinions about
the library space Different
Different reasons for not being in the library (noisy, get away from students, cannot spread out, cannot leave their books and papers)
Using their own library’s online resources
Same Can access from anywhere (though always
possibility of trouble with remote access) Resources available online through any of the four
will not be sufficient, they will always need something more
Different Not as easy at each institution to get remote access Number of databases Varied understanding of what kind of support it
takes to get these resources
Getting access to additional resources
Same Getting help from colleagues and friends to get
things from another library Getting access from a previous job or fellowship
or second job Some get access to local resources (such as
public libraries or academic libraries but another institution)
Different Local resources are very different Dependence on their institutional libraries varies
If money were no object…(What they would wish for)
Same More content, more resources, more online,
more books More time More money Research assistance
Different Provide service to the public Management of personal citations and
resources
Was it worth the time and effort?
Gained new information about how faculty do their research and use resources
Gained insight on AMICAL’s current and potential role
Developed implementation ideas (faculty “training,” additional tools, greater access to targeted resources)Built better relationships between librarians and facultyLearned how to do interviewsEnriched vision of the future library
