participants will be able to devise interview questions, use different
forms of technology to interview, log interviews, and create and assign
controlled vocabulary.

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.
