A mediagraphy (or mediography) is a resource that provides an overview to a thematic or topical area such as the Civil War or Poverty. It then contains an annotated list of quality print, audio, video, and/or other resources. Mediagraphies contain non-print items as well as print resources. Within a mediagraphy document, issues related to the topic, concerns about materials collections, or strategies for using the materials are often discussed.

Mediagraphies

Explore some examples below. In your examination of mediagraphy projects, look for the following:

An introductory section that includes:

Identification of the content topic
Setting (location) where it is to be used
Audience - intended primary audience / users
Purpose - state why needed, what is it for?

Are media items in the mediagraphy treated as alike as possible, regardless of format or content? In other words, are the annotations and other descriptive elements for each of the items similar; i.e., audio, video, websites, CDs, DVDs, books, tapes and other media formats? Is parallel treatment and information given for each?

Note that not all of these projects meet the required criteria of this course, but they each have outstanding components.

Think about the ways that you would change and improve these sample projects.
