  • Better Together! Invite a Friend to Church with a Facebook Watch Party
    Better Together! Invite a Friend to Church with a Facebook Watch Party By Rev. Chris Harris Last week I shared how our post-COVID ‘digital’ church has not only made it easy to invite people to church, but it’s made it even easier for your friends to say yes! After all, there is no drive, no getting dressed up, no anxiety about whether they will fit in and if they don’t like what they see, they can safely click away. In fact, studies show more than 60% of people who are invited to church will say ‘yes’ – and that was back when they had to actually come to the building. You can only imagine what the percentage is today! So how do you invite someone to our online service? One way of course is to simply email or text them our “Chruch at Home” webpage where they can watch live: www.CCCatHome.org But for some of your friends, that might seem a bit impersonal as they will be watching alone at home, rather than getting to sit next to you in your favorite pew where you can guide them through the service, answer their questions and explain what happens next. How to make it more personal? How about putting a monitor on the patio and host a porch watch party! Make it an event with great coffee and pastries delivered during the announcements or invite people to bring pre-packaged snacks. Let me know ahead of time and we can email you some “coffee hour conversation starters” to help encourage deeper reflection and conversation after the service.

  • AUDIOVISUAL and CHILL: an Evaluation of Video Digital Libraries
    AUDIOVISUAL and CHILL: An Evaluation of Video Digital Libraries and Catalogues by TIMOTHY DEAN GORDON Submitted to the School of Information Management Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Information Studies JUNE 2016 Acknowledgements Thank-you to my supervisorDr. Brenda Chawner for trusting and guiding me to this conclusion. Also to The University of Auckland Library and to my colleagues for their support throughout this endeavour. To the late Professor Robert Chapman CMG: psephologist, poet, and collector. And to the rest, but especially M.D.B., A.C., N.C., P.D., J.G., A.L., D.M., C.T., & ‘UoA Balmoral’ for continually providing motivation and supporting my aspirations—always grateful. ii Abstract Research Problem This research investigates how well video digital libraries and catalogues used in academic libraries meet user expectations. This is in the context of increasing use and demand for online audiovisual content by the wider community, as well as growing use of audiovisual materials for teaching, learning, and research at academic institutions. It also aims to give an understanding of how well libraries are meeting the challenges of delivering audiovisual materials to users in an on-demand world. Methodology Twelve platforms—developed between 1996 and 2015—are evaluated against 23 user-centred criteria, divided into four core areas: retrieval functionality, user interface, collection qualities, and user support. Results The study found that not one of the platforms evaluated met all the evaluation criteria, and identified three key areas in the usability of thevideo digital libraries and catalogues: search and retrieval, technology, and structure, scope, and strategy.
