Primary Research Group (in conjunction with Ogilvie Research) is conducting
a survey of the use of video digitization and video-related metadata
development by librarians. The survey concerns a new technology that will
be offered by a major player in the library database market that will enable
libraries, colleges and museums to digitize, transcribe, catalog and
distribute their institutional video content as if it were text.
Organizations will be able to take their internally generated video content
-- information literacy videos, courses and lectures, tutorials and training
videos, special events, alumni reunions, campus tours, library special
collections, recruiting video -- and apply metadata to them so that specific
search terms can retrieve specific video segments just as a Google search
retrieves specific websites or a database search produces links to specific
journal content.
The survey is open to academic libraries, museums, and the
library/information centers of other non-profits, including state libraries,
but excluding public libraries. The survey is not open to corporate, legal
and other libraries of for-profit institutions. A summary of results
pertinent to libraries will be emailed to organizations that complete the
survey.
