User Education: Multimedia (021:123)
Sections of the website you are viewing were created or updated for this class. I created a Brochure in Word, and a PowerPoint Presentation.

I also created a digital video “Completely De-Boning a Chicken with Mitch Samples.”

The major outcome of this study was an annotated bibliography of articles relating to the topic at hand. The report also includes the proposal and outcome discussions.

Foundations of Library and Information Science (021:101)
This website was originally developed as a requirement for this course, but has undergone major changes since then. I also created a Procite bibliographic database on textiles and embellishments for this course, which I intend to update as new references are found.
