The symposium will focus on how to implement user-based archives
evaluation at your repository.  Participants will leave the symposium
not only with an good understanding of methodologies employed in user
studies, but also with a customized survey or focus group protocol ready
for implementation.

Rick Pifer will begin the symposium by exploring the concept of
user-centered archives and its real-world manifestations.
Beth Yakel will then invite us to consider how to elicit important
information from archives users and introduce us to a variety of
user-based evaluation methods.

Chris Prom and Ciaran Trace will provide in-depth training in the
construction of surveys and focus-group protocols and provide direction
in analyzing the results of user studies.

We will have ample time for small group work, during which we will
construct a survey or focus group protocol tailored to our institutional
needs.  Facilitators will be on-hand to provide guidance in this
process.
