Database Tutorials
One of the minor assignments was to choose a subject and then create video tutorials for subject specific databases.

The major group assignment was giving a spreadsheet of databases for Johnson and Wales, Charlotte campus, and the group had to do evaluation of campus programs and users, then selection of the databases using evaluation techniques learned in class. Reviewing each database, group members were assigned to a set of databases and then over WebEx and Google Sheets collaboration, the team compared each set, to ensure no duplicate of database coverage. The button will download the spreadsheet for the final selection and how much money the group saved.
LIS 636: Web Production & Usability
Web Production and Usability generated many digital creations including a website designed using Dreamweaver and using web hosting software. Siberian Swirl Designs was the website I created for my hand lettering projects, eventually to be placed on sale. The website had a check list of components that had to be present somewhere in the website and also the website had to undergo user testing from group members. Before the actual website building process, each student was required to write out a plan and storyboard the website. Siberian Swirl Designs planning document is below, available for download.
LIS 644: Digital Libraries
In Digital Libraries, we actually constructed our own digital collections but prior to the digitization process, we were required to write a shortened version of a LSTA grant and plan out the future for the collection once it had been properly scanned and uploaded and the appropriate metadata assigned through ContentDM. In conjunction with my position at Brevard College, I wrote a grant proposal for the digitization of much of our archives and special collections at J.A. Jones Library, requesting new equipment like a BookEye for bound books and manuscripts. Click the button below to read the project overview.
