AbstractThis research, conducted by Erin Gow, aims to explore the information literacy and legal research training needs of users of the Middle Temple library.* In order to do this it focuses on the patterns of use of library resources by users, reasons for these patterns, previous training users have received, and general evidence of user training needs in law libraries. The research as a whole was generated in result of the recognition that many Middle Temple library users require further legal research skills training in order to confidently find and employ the extensive resources available through the library. Before such training could be developed, however, research needed to be conducted into the specific capabilities and needs of the unique user base at the library. As a result of the research the current habits of library users have been explored, their general training levels and needs identified, and recommendations made about how to structure training so as to address these needs and best serve users. It was discovered that Middle Temple library users generally visit the library frequently, and are already confident using certain materials such as textbooks. Despite confidence in using certain common materials, users struggle to take advantage of the full range of resources available, making training necessary. The difficulties many users currently face in the library stem from a general lack of information literacy and library skills training.

Video Diary

Objectives The goal of this research was to determine whether video diary, a qualitative, self-recorded, video-ethnographic method, is feasible for use among older African Americans (AAs) who live alone. The research, which stems from a larger study on aging in place, focuses specifically on the pros and cons of the video diary and provides recommendations for improving the methodology. Methods Twelve participants were engaged in a 90-minute training on how to record videos using tablet computers, seven days of recording video diaries, and one in-person interview. Results While all participants reported being comfortable with using tablet computers to record video diaries, many participants expressed the need for additional training and assistance. In addition, video diaries recorded by participants commonly exhibited issues (e.g. framing, gaze, and audibility) that compromised video quality. Discussion Video diary may be an effective method for collecting information from older African Americans. However, some suggestions for improving this methodology are providing in-depth video diary and additional camera training, establishing multiple points of contact for technical support, and providing male participants with additional practice.
