How to request and record with a Wolf Tales kit

Wolf Tales tool kits consist of cameras, microphones, other equipment, and lists of suggested prompts to stimulate conversations. Once you're done, we'll take care of downloading it and adding your recording to the Wolf Tale collection.

1. Request a kit: Contact us to arrange to check out a Wolf Tales kit. The library offers two options, an audio kit or a video kit. We recommend checking a kit out before your recording day to practice using the equipment.  After requesting a kit, we will arrange a consultation to discuss using the kit.  Then you will be able to check the kit out from the Digital Media Lab.
2. Set up your recording: Find a quiet, comfortable space to make the recordings. A recording can be up to 10 minutes but shorter stories are also fine! A recording can include 1-3 narrators. You are also welcome to record yourself!
3. Introduce yourself: When you start the recording, have the Wolf Tales narrators introduce themselves and their connection to NC State.
4. Record your Wolf Tale using our prompts: Have your narrators share what they feel is most important about their experience at NC State. You can record in any language, not just in English.
5. Sign release forms: Have each individual in the recording read and sign a release form. We will not accept any recordings without a signed form. (Download a printable version.) For solo recordings, SCRC staff can arrange for online signatures.
6. Return the Wolf Tales kit to the Digital Media Lab: Make sure to include your signed permission forms! Once you return the kit, we will download and process your recording.
