Primary Research Group has published The Survey of Academic Library Use of Lecture Capture Technology, ISBN 978-1-57440-253-7.
The study looks closely at the growing role of the academic library in lecture capture technologies now widely deployed across higher education to capture, preserve, and capitalize on the enormous intellectual property embodied in millions of higher education course sessions. The report looks at how academic libraries are themselves using lecture capture in information literacy and other applications, and also how they are playing a role in providing metadata, archiving, technology, and education services to other end users of lecture capture technology in higher education.
Just a few of the 70+ page report's many findings are that:
- Nearly 78% of the research university libraries in the sample had deployed lecture capture technology
- About 35% of colleges sampled have played a role in training faculty in the use of lecture capture technology
- 50% of private college libraries in the sample play a role in overseeing copyright questions and issues relating to taped lectures
- 27.2% of colleges in the sample with more than 20,000 fte students have taped information literacy classes offered by the library itself and more than 34% have taped tutorials for individual library patrons or staff
- Nearly a quarter of libraries sampled have used a home grown system rather than a commercially available system for taping lectures
The report ($80.00) is available from Primary Research Group and also from major book vendors such as Amazon, Baker & Taylor, Yankee Book Peddler, Midwest Library Services, Overdrive, Research and Markets, and other distributors of content.
