Description: The former ALCTS Preservation and Reformatting Section (PARS)
has for several years been creating oral histories of commercial binders
and preservation librarians which are available on the American Library
Association Institutional Repository (ALAIR). The presenters will
demonstrate how to create and process oral histories and how to upload them
to ALAIR. Be a part of this or other history recordings to document the
changes in the profession over the past 50 years. This course will also
teach you how to start an independent oral history project.

Learning outcomes:

At the end of this course, attendees will be able to:

   -

   Formulate a cogent oral history interview process, determine forms
   needed, and develop questions to ask interviewees regarding a particular
   project.
   -

   Successfully process the recordings, audio and video, and create
   indexing and brief descriptions for easy search and retrieval.
   -

   Understand what is required for uploading and making public the
   interviews for the ALA community, interested researchers, and the public.
   -

   Create their own independent oral history project.

Who should attend?

Anyone with an interest in oral histories and their creation is welcome to
participate.

Technical Requirements for Attendees

Computer, phone with audio recording capability, Internet connection,
Google Drive account

Jeanne Drewes has been active in ALA for over forty years and has conducted
over forty interviews which are available on the ALAIR for both binders and
