Message-Id: <mailto:199407062308.SAA18808@library.wustl.edu> Date: Wed, 6 Jul 1994 17:46:34 -0500 From: Jane Rutherford <mailto:LIB_RUTHERFO@GALLUA.GALLAUDET.EDU> Subject: Multimedia applications To: Multiple recipients of list IMAGELIB <mailto:IMAGELIB@ARIZVM1.BITNET>
The following request is being posted to several listservs. Please forgive the duplication.----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Gallaudet University Library is developing a proposal regarding the integration of multimedia into its services. We would like your input on how multimedia applications are being used at your institution. We are especially interested in library uses of multimedia, but would also like to know how multimedia is being used in other departments as well. We thank you, in advance, for your time.
We are defining multimedia as: microcomputer-based interactive programs utilizing a combination of high-resolution graphics (photographs, drawings, motion pictures, animation, etc.), text, and audio for entertainment, educational, or informational purposes.
1. Based on the above definition of multimedia, does your library have any multimedia applications at this time? If not, are you planning to implement any within the next two years?
2. Which of your multimedia applications are commercially produced, mass marketed products? An example of this would be the Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia.
3. Which of your multimedia applications were created specifically for your library? An example of this would be a guide to your library.
4. Who can we contact if we would like more information about your library's multimedia applications? Please include name, phone number, e-mail address, etc.
5. Which other units (e.g. the biology or English departments, a media production unit, etc.) either have multimedia applications or would know more about multimedia applications in your institution? Who can we contact about this (names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, etc.)?
Please reply directly to me. I will summarize for the list, if desired. Thank you.
