Version 1.0 10-21-2009  1 of 1    EXPLANATION OF RESEARCH  Title of Project: Central Florida Citizen Curator Project    Principal Investigator: John Venecek  Other Investigators: Dr. Barry Mauer, Dr. Connie Lester, Dr. Keri Watson  Faculty Supervisor: N/A  You are being invited to take part in a research study. Whether you take part is up to you.  Briefly summarize the research purpose:  • The purpose of this research is to gage the response from patrons who attend the exhibits. As part of our assessment plan, this stage will involve an evaluation form that attendees can complete after that event. We will use these evaluations as an opportunity to address some of the key Performance Goals, including how the audience’s attitudes changed toward the host institution, the subject matter of the exhibit, the effectiveness of the exhibit, and their interest in participating in future exhibits.  Briefly describe the procedures in lay terms. Describe what the participant will be asked to do and give the location where the research will take place:  • Eveluations forms will be provided on site and will be collected after attendees have viewed the exhibit. Attendees will also have the option to complete an online form and submit that through the project’s website. Both are common forms of assessment for museum and library exhibits.   Explain the expected duration of the participant’s participation and the time commitment:  • The time commitment will be minimal. No longer than the time it takes to complete a short survey. Participation in the survey will also be optional.
