Project potential

This blog posting was written but not published before our discussion on what to do for my project the last class meeting I had.

My project has become a bit of a stressful point between my librarian and I. I had planned on creating an interface where the librarians and faculty of the Citadel could interact. It would give descriptions about the types of specialties each of the librarians. This would allow the faculty to know how to use the librarians as a resource in their classes, which perhaps would give the students more involvement in the library itself. After discussing this idea with the director of the library, my librarian decided we should go a different direction. Which has been a learning experience because librarians, like teachers, have to know how to be flexible.

The last idea we discussed before I left my two weeks in Charleston is the idea to create a LibGuide for the Government Intelligence. This seems like a challenge to me because I have no familiarity with this topic, nor do I have any experience embedding a LibGuide into a webpage. I have already begun looking at the print resources the Citadel Library has to offer on this topic. My next step is to find electronic resources that are relevant to the topics that will be discussed within the perimeters of this graduate certificate.
