Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Library Science
  • Educational Technology

Background:

  • Videodisc technology offers interactive capabilities for educational purposes.
  • Academic health sciences libraries play a crucial role in adopting and disseminating new educational technologies.
  • Understanding the adoption trends of videodisc technology in these libraries is essential for future planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the current trends in videodisc use, development, and production.
  • To assess the extent of videodisc adoption and repurposing in North American academic health sciences libraries.
  • To identify patterns in the development of videodisc software and production of different videodisc levels.

Main Methods:

  • A national survey was conducted in the winter of 1989.

  • Survey instruments were sent to 131 library directors in academic health sciences institutions.
  • A response rate of 48% (63 completed surveys) was achieved.

    • Main Results:

    • A wide range of videodisc technology use and development was observed.
    • 67% of libraries had purchased videodisc technology, and 28% were repurposing existing videodiscs.
    • 25% of respondents were developing their own videodisc software, and 24% had Level III videodiscs in production.

    Conclusions:

    • Videodisc technology adoption and development are expanding within academic health sciences libraries.
    • There is a growing production of both Level I and Level III videodiscs.
    • While videodisc delivery is often centralized, development is not uniformly centralized within institutions.
