      Speaker(s)

*Barbara Ruland* is a veteran producer of informational video 
programming. She began her career at KPBS, the public broadcasting 
station in San Diego California in the early 1980's. From there she 
became an independent producer, and co-owner of a small production 
company that served clients throughout the region.

Barbara and her husband moved to Bowling Green in the fall of 2005, 
where they have re-started their business as Producer One Media, LLC 
<http://www.producerone.com/>. Since this project began in early 2006, 
Barbara has recorded over 100 interviews with ten NORWELD 
<http://www.norweld.lib.oh.us/default.asp> libraries.


      Description

/Underwritten by the Northwest Regional Library System, NORWELD/

In this workshop, Barbara will walk us through the "Five Ws and an H" of 
creating Oral Histories. From the very beginning of a project to the end 
result, Barbara will teach us the process and the benefits of creating 
and videotaping Oral Histories.

-- Why oral history? The benefits of having an oral history archive. An 
exploration of why individual libraries may be interested in doing oral 
history, and a brief survey of existing oral history models.

-- What is the focus of your specific oral history project? Defining 
subjects and brainstorming different ways to approach them. What are the 
issues that must be addressed in any oral history project?

-- Who does what? Staffing your project and creating workable job 
descriptions. Who will be interviewed? Defining criteria for selecting 
interview subjects.

-- When should we do that? Understanding the time requirements for the 
project and designing a workflow.

-- Where should we do the taping? Just like in real estate, location is 
one of the keys to a good video.

-- How does it all come together? How does a typical taping go and how 
can we ensure a successful taping? How might you publicize and program 
your oral history project?


      Meal

Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided.
