LIS6514 Digital Libraries - Fall 2018, USF

Many resources are provided digitally nowadays.  As a result, it is important to understand and know how to organize and provide access to digital resources.  

The mock digital library created as a final project for LIS6514 was created using Omeka.net, a digital library creation program.  For this project, my goal was to create a mock digital library that focused on and contained items related to astronomy.  The purpose of the digital library was to provide resources for people of all levels of astronomical experience, from those just starting out to people who have a deep understanding of current research.  After evaluating and selecting resources to be included in the digital library, I then created Dublin Core metadata for each element, which was added into the digital library along with each item.  The items included in the digital library consisted of text, image, and physical objects which were represented by images I took.

LIS6711 Organization of Knowledge 1 - Fall 2017, USF

The organization and description of information is crucial in the information profession as well as in day-to-day life, as it makes it easier to locate and retrieve items.

During LIS6711, I provided various descriptions for different information objects.  I was introduced to and became comfortable using various descriptive techniques.  I became familiar assigning Library of Congress Classification (LCC) and Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) to text, creating Dublin Core metadata, and constructing taxonomies.  The documents included below represent the various forms of classification, description and organization I have had experience using/creating.
