840 Final Project

I've just returned to this blog after a very brief summer hiatus. So brief, in fact, that some of the professors started giving us assignments for this semester while we were completing finals for last semester.

(Note to my library science program: this is bad. Don't do this. My stress level was so far through the roof that I actually laughed when I found out yellow jackets had taken up residence in my kitchen ceiling, thereby giving me an excuse to not think about school for five seconds.)

But anyways, I wanted to give a brief feedback on how that project went. I loved putting it together--in fact, this class really made an impression on me in many ways. It was very influencial in my decision to create a website for my final project in 802. I put together this outline for my website where I work, and then gave a presentation on it to my supervisor, the senior member of the team, and my contact for the web team.

And now they changes are in the works. They are actually using some of my suggestions in the redesign of the website, and I've found it very confirming. I'm finding myself drawn more and more to a career path that isn't traditionally librarian, but definately serves the same functions in a more technological way.

I created it using Zoho, which I am now using for a lot of things. Not everything, though--Zoho inserts 3 spaces instead of an actual tab when one pushes the tab key, which has created some formating issues for me while exporting. I created my diagrams using Gliffy, which also has some issues, but worked well enough.

Here's a link to my final project for 840:
