Building and Managing Your Digital Library
Scott Garrison
Duke University Medical Center Library
20 registered
Evaluation score: 6.48
Comments:
  1. None
  2. Instructor did an excellent job. Lots of useful information. More food & drinks would have been nice.
  3. One of the best CE courses I've taken!
  4. Slow at beginning, fast at end. Some problems with room-lawn mowing & people using as pass through -passers by might have been diverted by better signage. Map & site needed better instructions.
  5. None
  6. None
  7. Building was cold.
  8. None
  9. None
  10. Good Ce course.- Not enough time to complete exercises.
  11. Really needed hands on; very thought provoking. Would like to see as a 1 ½ or 2 day class.
  12. None
  13. This course was more applicable to academic libraries. However, there were good ideas and nuggets of information that can be used in a smaller setting.
  14. Some information is too technical for the basic library attendees. Nice to know what the terms mean but got lost in the complete explanations.
  15. More time spent on topics-needs to be pared down & more focused. Less "techie" tips. This was more introductory/overview than I expected.
  16. Time was spent too loosely in the morning causing the evening to be rushed and practical exercises to be left undone. I think this to be absolutely untenable. Instructor needs to manage his time much better. Because of the length of the course today participants hands-on exercises are a MUST. The one exercise done was useful (in the morning.)
  17. Lots of examples on academic settings. Not applicable to my job. Ask people to bring to class some documents which have needed these documents. Lots of examples given, useful to instructor but probably not ever useful to a majority of the class.
  18. Instructor distracted by personal life change; thus, we learned more about immediate past employer's environment & future employer's environment// we simply lost too much time in a.m. * Attendees also rambled i.e. 30 minute discussion of copier systems on campus libraries * Timing was not the best// at the end of a long conference ½ [day?] workshop would be my only recommendation.
  19. Content was much too academic oriented, therefore less useful for a hospital setting. The last two hours were most useful-please give them more emphasis time wise.
