Hi Kate

Firstly, thank you Stacey for your response, and your ever wise words 🙂

You have both answered my questions and cleared up my confusion.

So my evalution plan will touch on the particular method: questionnaire, interview,etc, and why that method is the appropriate choice?

Criteria Sheet Q’s, –

“My only question is why isn’t the library doing this as business as usual? Why is funding required? You’ll need to be clear about your costings for the grant application.”

Thanks Kate

it’s also the case that sure, there are probly well informed librarian who are IT savvy and have no problem. However, if they were to help with software, then that customer may expectate that service in other libraries they visit. As you say, there’s alot of ‘software’- and having one person adopt the service could lead to discrepancies across all.

Umm Kate how do I delete?

I have gone into the post-edit-and cut everything out and submit, but no good

Hi Georgia,

I currently work in retail, and one of the expectations of the business is to offer the customer something from our range. Sounds simple enough right? Except for when a customer comes in looking for something very specific, let’s say for example, a childrens top with a picture of a koala. Now knowing I have no Australiana products, it seems absurd suggesting the shirt with a dancing hippo instead. However, that is what my work expects, which can be frustrating for me, as the customer must think I am not listening. For the most part I do say we don’t have exactly what they want.

Hi Georgia,

As someone who is heavily involved in researching my family history, I found your post particularly enjoyable. I’m mad that I missed out on this program.
I now pay with Ancestry.com and sometimes a ‘pay as I go’ with Find my Past, but in times when I do not want to pay anymore, I go into SLQ. I did not know about access births, death and marriages through SLQ, so thanks for that.

I think the genealogy websites are great but yes they do have some negative impacts. From what I believe, access to records used to be easier before Ancestry took a lot of control, leaving people to have to pay for that service (I could be wrong about this, it is just feedback from family that used it previously). Also, some people can be quite protective of the information they have retrieved, and remain ‘private’, or perhaps not even add to the website itself. These apprhensions are in reponse of ‘ownership’ , which is interesting as who really owns the information.

So, SLQ providing this service and programme, ensures users to be more capabable and confident.

A wee bit of a ramble, I’m just a bit of family history fanatic.

Natalie

Hi! I’m Natalie

I am currently in 1st year, 2nd sem. Full time Master of Info Science (Library Practice).

I see myself working  in a few places suchs as archives, speciall collections or academic library. What my role in particular would be, I am not too sure.

 

My superpower would be ‘persistant’ (stubborn)

if I am interested in what I am doing, I will investigate and purue with vigour.

People I know would say I am stubborn.

I would like my superpower to be-having patience with the smaller, finer details.
