Instructions:

Please put the names of your group members into one of the boxes below. Next to "TOPIC" please put what the video will be about. Next to "ORGANIZATION/LIBRARY" please tell me who you'll be making the video for (i.e. Who is your client?).

If you need more lines in your group's table, you'll see arrows on the left of the table when you click on it. Click on the left arrow and insert a line. See the image below:

Adding a row to your table


If you don't have a group and want to sign up and simply see who else signs up with you, that works too.

Each group should have between 3 and 5 members. With 25 people in the class...

  • Groups of 3 will mean eight groups (with one group of 4)
  • Groups of 4 will mean six groups (with one group of 5)
  • Groups of 5 will mean five groups.

I have included space for 8 groups, but don't feel you have to fill all the tables. Just leave blank any tables we don't need.

NB: Please be sure that your topic revolves around what the client wants. Ask the client and see what they come up with. If you have a suggestion for them about a tutorial you think would work, that's great - you can make that suggestion - but be sure to give way if they don't want to do that and have another project in mind for you.

Also (VERY IMPORTANT), please do not begin work on your project until you've checked with Fiona. Sometimes a site will want something done that is a valid project but not appropriate for our course. Please check with Fiona first, and once she has given the "okay", you can begin working on it.

Potential Clients:

Note that Out on the Shelves is a client students have worked with in the past that will likely be happy to have more work done by this class as they are entirely dependent on volunteers. Also, Mission Archives and Surrey Public Library's Genealogy Department and BCLA may be possible, if any of those appeal to you. Please talk to me if so. Students who have jobs in various UBC Library branches have also used those libraries as clients in the past. If you have a job at a library, that might be a good place to start as they may want some work done. If you're not coming up with ideas about who to work with, please let me know and I may be able to assist. Ideally, you want to get started on this project sooner rather than later.
